I've spent two hours trying unsuccessfully to mount an 1806 motor to a Mini firewall (this is for a Mini Mustang.) I even tried it with just the extra firewall that comes in the Speed-Build Kit.
My problem is that once I get one hole engaged in the back of the motor (say either the top or bottom hole,) I can't get any screw to engage in another hole. Of course, you can't see the holes because you're screwing through the back of the firewall. It doesn't help that the instructions have you wait until you've glued and taped the firewall to the mini power pod, which makes everything more cramped.
I do realize that there is a slight difference in the hole pitch for each pair of holes that are oriented 90 degrees to each other, and I've accounted for that.
Anyone have any build tips for this? Many thanks!
