Let us know when it's released yes, wouldn't be much effort to counter sunk the hole for the motor support i'd think though. Remember it hasn't been released yet so they may well correct that

currently i havn't seen anyone who uses them for anything so I wouldn't really think they are absolutely necessary, they look like empty random holes currently as nothing has been released to my knowledge that attatch to them.

The holes are for a fan mount and it will be out at some point but other things keep getting in the way.

Other cars where the motor is out the back maybe not a problem but with it in the middle, where it should be , we thought it would be good to have the option.

I have run a fan a few times in my car but only at silly hot meetings and not over here, remember some place actually have a high temperature for more than 2 days

That plate looks nice though although the brace hole should be countersunk.

I can understand in america and other hot countrys but not here we all know what the uk is like , in the mean time there are motor heatsinks with fans mounted to them that can be used, not sure if it would make much impact on production costs for optimized to add these holes

What was that mike?? was i right?

The reason they are more likely to be needed, i'm not saying they are, is because the motor is enclosed within the bodyshell, not sticking out of the back like the commoners are.

motor mount plate looks good by the way

if read a few more words along he said 'but not over here'
anyway enough of this childplay
back on topic the plate looks nice but does need the hole counter sunk for the Motor support plate and maybe those fan mount holes for those who are based in hotter countrys like the us

Don't worry about the countersunk hole, we do that on production !
We also study to do a milled plate, but that's really most expansive !

Thanks for your feedbacks
