cheapest way to mount engine?

whats the easiest way to do a friction setup?


i have no access to any tools like welder's, metal benders.

what i do have is an assortment of wrenches, screw driver's, ratchet's, socket's, and a brill with a few drill bit's.

help me out ive been searching and searching all day today.
i cant find anything that doesn't need any specialty tool's.

if you know where i can find an easy set up for a noob like myself please help me out.

i will be putting this on a mountain bike, then saving for a beach cruiser and swapping it over if possible or just start from scratch for my next bike.

That kit is over $200 less than its competitor.

:unsure:You COULD "McGuyver" the entire assembly with a used weedwhacker engine, box tubing, nuts, bolts, hinges, springs or bungee cords, BMX footpeg and a throttle cable.

Information on a project like this can be found at the other forum you posted at.

Probably cost less than $100.:geek:

It is not the easiest way to install friction drive; it's the cheapest.:geek:
 
I have a set of plans to make a friction drive kit for a bike. Pretty simple plans & the main frame is wood ! I think a handsaw & drill were all that I needed, if I remember right. Parts were available at local hardware & auto parts stores. It was CHEAP to build & worked pretty well. The plans are somewhere in a cabinet , I THINK, & I will have to " splore " to find them.
