fabrication (nothing fancy)

A couple pictures of the 3-6 month temporary starter motor mount that I'm "fabricating." Here you can see the bolt I broke next to the stud and nut from which I'm making the replacement. I'm going to use Loctite Metal/Concrete adhesive to hold this stud into the transmission bellhousing and secure the starter motor in place with the nut. With a little trial and error I stepped up from the 10 mm OEM bolt size to this 7/16 stud size, which is equal to about 11.11 mm. It fits the hole for the OEM bolt almost snuggly so I'm hoping it'll let the adhesive make good contact with the bellhousing.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
