    To be honest, I don't think it'll hold.
    Even the motor mounts are weak.
    I've cut some corners and I regret it, because it will experience continuous vibrations and shaking.

    I could access one but not competent in using it and my mounts are weak but I will address this.

    Probably the more expensive way to do it but I'm testing and adjusting.
