Python Motor mount screw too large for mount

[JvG]

I wanted to rotate the motor a little so the motor wires are not pushing against the body (hate that )
While reinstalling the motormount i couldn’t get the screw in without force, which is not a good thing. The motor mount is too small or the screw is too big. So took out the dremel and fixed it.

But from the factory the screw was just rammed in. You can see the marking on the screw because of that when i took it out if the box:

Haha i just want it the way i like it, every rtr has flaws so i always fully strip and inspect ‘m.
For me it’s relaxing, no irritations, just improvements. When have you seen blue and brown grease together? I also could have bought a €1000,- Tekno EB48 2.0 and not have to go through this

I believe the bolts are supposed to be in the round holes

Just checked mine and they are the same as yours..!!

But if you look in the manual (page 14) the bolts are in the round holes like I said

Mmmm, strange, the supplied screws are too large for the other holes! Yours look like a tight fit also (?), but who doesn’t like that

I haven't taken mine apart yet but I'll post back here once I start disassembly, sure I'll have some other bolts if those don't fit correctly

Looks like you fellows got a couple of Friday afternoon cars.

Nothing manufactured is ever fully immune to the Friday afternoon/Monday morning effect. Easily fixed at least.
