+This top engine mount is made out of 4mm steel starting with a cardboard template sized, shaped and drilled.

+A breaker tool was fabricated in a hydraulic press to make 22.5° degree bends on each lug for the mount. \\
+The position for the 90° bend was marked off. \\
+Having this bend at the correct angle and position is crucial. \\
+Otherwise the piece would have to be discarded to start all over again. \\
+It has to match up to the frame without distorting upon torque. ((photos by Jörgen of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-motor-engine/sportster-motorcycle-engine-conversions/149281-124-1993-xlh-build-thread/page21?t=1619616&page=21)) \\

+The mount was placed over a small vise (with the jaws opened and the edges rounded to help the bending process of the mount material). \\
+After bending, the mount is test fitted for a flush fit to the frame. ((photos by Jörgen of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-motor-engine/sportster-motorcycle-engine-conversions/149281-124-1993-xlh-build-thread/page21?t=1619616&page=21)) \\

+Then two gussets were fabricated using the above method of bending and then welded to the mount on both sides.
