Kips motor bracket. How much free play?

Post by kghost »

Went to rig my KIPS cables today and noticed significant play side to side on the bracket between the frame rails. (See photos below)

Is this normal or should I add a rubber grommet as a spacer an eliminate side to side bracket motion?

it is normal to have some play between the bracket and frame.
