    Now heres the left side motor mount, check that spacing, it always slide on that side.http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...oatpics069.jpg
    What do you think of putting a sleve over the slide bracket, cut the perfect distance between stringer mount and where it starts to slide in slide mount. This way if it pulls tight again the new sleve will stop it.

    Ditch those motor mounts. Get either a 4 point system of a rail kit. I dont know jack shit about that motor mount deal.

    Are those mounts solid,(holes egged out) or are they designed to slide?

    If they are designed to slide, just adjust them to the correct alignment and weld those babies solid. Never have to adjust them again.

    Those mounts look like they would stress the stringer. Junk them for a rail kit.
