Motor spacer issue with baja .

[Barber213]

Good morning . I’m currently upgrading my king motors baja . I was told to upgrade the motor . But after installing the new motor . I realized the motor is slightly off center from the motor mount holes . Can anyone let me know if there’s a spacer that I can purchase to resolve this issue . Im using a nut as a temporary spacer . I included pics .

its a normal sort of thing from engine to engine with the baja fella, different clutch carriers from zenoah and cy or aftermarket sometimes you need a smaller spacer,
just make yerself a spacer , find a spacer thats the right size,
line everything up first, engine mounts, gear plate etc then measure what size spacer you need, ,

edit; its normally only a matter of 1mm or so difference in the spacer needed,
some people just crank it down and force fit everything, thats when issues start with binding parts etc

I used a nut that works perfect . I did the measurement . It would have to be 15.4 mm to be the exact height . Trying to see if I can cut this old brake mount spacer to size or find a spacer on Amazon .

I usually just sand down the foot on the clutch housing to the proper amount for the regular spacer. It's usually sanded down to just below the foot support casting.

Thanks a lot .

I think it would be way easier to file down the aluminum engine case than to try and hold then cut straight that spacer

you can buy a turtle racing clutch mount and that would be ther corect size for this mounting.
i have bought several.

Ah! I'm building a baja 5b sbk as we speak... juuuust encountered the same problem mounting a Zenoah G320RC. Was scratching my head.

The HPI kit comes with two options in sizes of spacers.

The part # is 102164b for the shorter one if anyone is after the oem one.

Agree with derby. Buy the turtle clutch housing. It adds bling and is much stronger
