I'm thinking about eliminating the motor bracket all together & build with pillow blocks. But then, I don't have a local raceway to run at either.

you're obviously adept in the English language and not prosaic.

Not nearly as adept as I think, and my doctor says I'm already too happy for him to prescribe Prosaic.

Reading Duffyisms is much like the parables in the Bible. Waiting for the English translation to come out.

I always thought the ultimate motor bracket would be .062, Rob thought a good tradeoff was .040 material and I opted for .050 material, for that trade off for weight vs strength. IMO tubes are passe today with the advent of the collars, just a hold out thang from the old guard. Which brings us back to the bend area. Too little height and you compromise strength, too much and you add weight. Adding bracing just adds up weight again, so make it so no bracing is required and it still does its job.

Bottom line, you have to remove all that we have learned in the last 30 years running angle winders, these are in-lines.
