Jeffrey, Stingers had a flat plate mount bolted to the chassis. Some had a single long slot in the mount, some had two shorter ones. The plate that bolted to the bottom of the engine was specific to the engine, but all had two 3/8" hex bolts pressed into holes in the top surface of the engine plate. That left the threaded portion of the bolts protruding thru the bottom of the mount plate. These spigotted into the slots. Heavy washers and good quality nuts held the engine with mount plate onto the kart's engine plate. K&P had several engine plates to accommodate most Macs, West Bends and foreign engines. This system was used on Bugs for several years. It was simple, and it worked well. No clamps to mess up the frame paint.TJ
