Look at this.....

As far as length, I buy a 1 meter stick of Grade 5 all thread. Any fastener store has or can get it for you, for 6mm it cost less then $3.00. In what you are explaining I'd go with the mount below, as you don't want to install a stud or bolt and try to pry it wider...you can break the engine or pull the threads while trying to do it or while you ride it. If you decide to use all thread, heat and bend it to fit.... OFF the engine. I have experience drilling holes in a frame....won't do it again...split tube in two...I posted pictures.

They are made in many sizes.... http://store.cargotrailersales.com/cargo/details.php?ITEM=3655015

This clamp can be bought or made. One of the vendors sells them, can't remember which one tho...maybe one will jump in....

I used . . .

a whomping big C-clamp to gently, but inexorably, squeeze the downtube a little bit where the studs cross the frame. Cut some pads from EPDM roofing or inner tubes and cushion the mount. Once it is painted up and the motor is mounted, it isn't even noticable.

Just go slow and make sure you have the jaws of the clamp perpendicular to your frame.

your frame looks ruined. It could easily break in 1/2 now that you have filed it down

Hi dylanpieper

Please, throw your frame away. You mentioned that cutting into your frame was required.

I've put up a post on a saftey related issue with large tube thin walled aluminium frames.
Basically, don't cut into or deform any aluminium frame - if you have to do this, find another bike frame that will work or find another mounting solution.

Riding the bike with a motorised kit installed on a damaged frame is complete stupidity

The end results can look like this, and far worse in one case i am aware of.

This gentleman suffered injuries from not wearing a helmet but if your frame breaks and it quite possibly will, your injuries will be many times worse if not wearing a full face motorbike helmet.

Please dylanpieper do not even continue with assembling or intending to ride your bike with a damaged frame.
Start again with a new undamaged frame - I can't make you do anything but if i could, your frame would be going straight in the rubbish bin; to protect you from injury and pain that may be waiting as a ticking clock, by means of frame failure.

Forgive me for saying that dylanpieper but i am seriously concerned for your saftey.
These motorised bicycle kits are not toys and should not be treated as toys.
Because you're wearing so little protective clothing and gear riding a pushbike, the injuries from a preventable accident can be quite horrific.

They are lovely pieces of equipment when treated with the care and respect and intelligent operation they deserve.
