Alex, with a few changes to the water pump
and intake plenum I can use a simple top mount
and simplify the main motor mount greatly.

You will need to add a hard point to the top of the
firewall at the center. This is a real old idea used
by Power Sport 20 years ago.

Here is what the low cost version of the Tango mount with the
top motor mount. Fewer laser cut tubes and welded joints.
Rotary installation is driven by cost.

I had an idea on how to mod an off the shelf car shock
and convert it to an air spring.

Drill a hole and drain the oil. Tig weld or braze a pipe
fitting on. refill with oil and plumb to an air pressure
can.

Here is what we are looking for.

With an inch and a half piston with 100 psi we have
a static force of 176 pounds. Cut the piston rod to three inches
and use a threading die to thread the rod for a female rod end.
Use a stock rubber bumper.

Patent applied for :)
