===== Description =====
The plastic clamp and bracket that hold the motor parallel to the rear axle. Its narrow ledge lets the gearbox end drop under belt tension, which causes [[parts:drivetrain:drive_belt|drive belt]] slip. Sinclair issued a galvanised steel motor bracket as a retrofit in 1985; owners also use a cable tie.
