The aftermarket motor mounts on my dad's OtterCross Frokus broke in a similar fashion. In a parking lot. Andrew Steere Lyndeborough, NH KB1PJY |

</thread> The Focus motor mount reminds me of using a ratchet strap and a wrench to hold my rear suspension together at a rallycross, with lots of zip ties to keep the strap tail from getting all dangly. It worked well enough that I left it that way until I got around to getting rid of the Panhard and going back to the Watts linkage, many months and events later.

Somehow a strap held this together for 2 more stages to finish the rally and win 2WD
