Yeah, they were a pain alright. I wouldn't recommend anybody using the old stye mounts. They're built really bad. The perches and mounts I got are CPP perches but I got them through their ebay site for a real good price.

I hope you took those motor mounts back and got a refund. I've never been too crazy about this style of motor mount. That is why I typically go with the '73+ clamshell style of motor mount. They are a much better design. |
Thanks, John. I did take one pair back but the ones I originally got from Summit would cost me more than the parts to ship back.

Any tricks to shortening them to fit??

Good plan. Sounds like a much better option. I'm not using those so I can't give you any info on shortening them.
Here are the perches I got. The same ones that many on the site have used.
