nothing wrong, but overkille

There is nothing wrong with using u-clamps, and they will hold the motor very securely... but I agree with those above that they are overkill and the #10-32 tapped holes are good enough to hold the motor.

We had a very robust drive train last year with a shift-on-the-fly transmission and we mounted the CIM motor with only 2 #10-32 FHSCS's.

See the attached picture.
