Rear foot-shell mounts

After talking to some local club members, I decided to mount the foot shells using some angled aluminum cut to shape. It's basically a 3' long bit of aluminum bent into an L with 1-1/2" length for each "leg". So, I got some at the Home Depot, and went to Hammerspace to commence cutting & drilling:

First I cut to size and trimmed at a 45-degree angle so it would fit within the shell:


Then I took it home and marked a pilot hole for where the bolt goes through the ankle:


And then I took it back and drilled that through:


This should hold the drive very securely to the ankle, but still provide enough room for me to work in the securing bolts, knock wood.
