Motor upgrade!

[Hooptmac]

I have been discussing a motor upgrade with one of the sponsors and his advise has been educational and inspirational! Now here is my problem!
Has anyone ever upgraded to the Admiral D-2 in a G22E without moving the shock?
I measure 10 3/8" to the shock where I think the motor will seat and the motor is about 0.5". I don't have a spec sheet but that measurement is probably at the center of the motor and the circumference may be slightly less. Any way it seems like too close tolerances for the data.
It looks like moving the bottom mount about 1/2" would work. The only problem is I don't weld!

Any experience the buggy gurus have i would appreciate. I am thinking try it but have a welder on will call if I have to fabricate.

thanks

This one might be better posted in the electric section?

Can you post pics of the top and bottom shock mount so we can see what you are up against.

Link to the diagram for the bottom mount. I believe I can slot this hole and eliminate any interference.

The top mount allows rotation the proper way. Link to the top mount.

Maybe slot this one also, if the angle is to severe.
Thanks.

I think we need an actual pic of the actual cart with the actual problem

The bottom mount, but there is not any room to move the top.
The top mt allows the shock to rotate along the axle, but there is not any room to move.

I plan to slot the bottom mt and position the shock where there is not any contact.
Thanks

Notice how the maximum motor length is at the center of the motor, that part may be forward of the shock and I may not have to modify. I was wondering if anyone had experienced this.

Thanks for the help, got the motor mounted without fabrication of the shock mount. i had some bracket extensions made just in case i needed them. Sorry about not able to rotate, the program uploads both images like attached!
