Just use a piece of Aluminum, drill holes and bent it to suit, usually 10 to 15 degrees bend should be good.

1/16" thick aluminum will do. To get a drill pattern for holes you could use a piece of paper and puncture the paper with the drive shaft.
Then take a pencil on its side and use the lead to shade the paper over top the screw holes.

This will give you a template to tape down & drill with, Start with motor mount holes, then the center hole for shaft. Doesn't have to be perfect for a 2040 motor that weighs maybe 28grams or so...

If you bought a water cooling aluminum can from HOR or elsewhere on ebay, it may then have correct diameter to bolt right back into the existing motor mount.

Sorry, thought of this right after....

i have the hor racing motor and cooler in several pro boat mini v boats

and just bolted back into the stock mount position, they work fine

however i just got a new fibreglass hull that is about the same size and shape of the mini v, that has no mount whatsoever so i need to build a new one

i think i'll try the aluminium suggestion above

thanks guys

any other advice would be welcome
