[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 124886, member: 175057"] I have only had one U bolt breakage with Motecks, but agree that it is not the best part of the motor. :) I replaced mine with two long coach bolts, filing off half of the head so that it locked in place. It could equally be done with threaded rod, or long bolts, locked off at the bracket end with another nut. My first solution was to have a U bolt made from threaded rod, but the little engineering company made such an accurate copy, that they copied the broken side as well. :) :-lmao Besides the U bolt quality problem, i still stand by the motor as being easy to install and in my opinion one of the best around, certainly at the price.
