The pan plate could be machined out of 1/2" thick material and
incorporate the Schertz Crisssi beam one piece.   Then we could dove
tail that to the MMP.   Disregarding weight and expense,  why not?

Jerry,
Now was that a blind mitered dovetail?  :)

Now get a little casein wood glue and you will be in business :-)

Speaking of wood a 3/4" thick end grain balsa core/aluminum sandwich would
be plenty strong in this configuration and save tons of weight.
Probabbly be cheaper too as 1/2" aluminum plate is $3-$4 a pound.

I don't know why I did not think of that years ago.

Anybody want to buy  nice milled aluminum motor plate?
