Default The Build Begins

Alright guys, I'm getting close to starting this thing. Thanks for all the help in my other thread, I knew nothing about swapping motors in a golf cart, and now know a ton! So I decided to go the cheaper, new motor route, and after looking into the quality of them all I ordered the 420 cc Lifan on sale for $269. I also ordered the Vegas Carts cradle and some of their brackets to make stuff fit nicely. Once hunting season slows down, I'm going to rip it apart in the next few weeks and get it all in there. Hopefully, only thing left to buy is the starter bracket as I will be using my stock starter/gen. I wanted to go the Vanguard route but simply could not find a good deal and was tired of waiting.

Also, I got the V-Twin cradle just in case I end up finding a Vanguard one day, anyone know how high off the plate I need to raise the clone? They didn't want to give me a direct answer at Vegas as it was "proprietary." I get it. I'm thinking around 3"....
