Found a shop soiled Voodoo Zobop 20 inch frame at the right price, it is newer model the colour is brighter in real life :cool:
Removed the bottom bracket and the Tsdz2 slides in ok , the problem is the anti rotation device on the rear of the motor
Time to make a bracket to fit on the side mounts started with the 33mm hole saw and a piece of mild steel as a mock up to see if it works
:mad: the frame is different to the older model so my templates are no good , rain and darkness :oops: stop play
Yes i noticed the rear shock has been fitted upside down but it still passed the safety check:(

I have noticed that some people solve this problem by rotating the motor clockwise until the motor stops on the frame and then fit without a bracket. Since the motor rotates in that direction this makes an effective stop. No idea if it would work with your bike but might we worth a look

Looks great Peter,
Can the battery move up the frame a touch to give clearance by the shock. I guess not or you would have done it already.

No not if I still want to be able to remove it
Both the the front and rear of the battery case have had a close encounter with the angle grinder to reshape it :eek: waiting for some soft plastic to arrive to reshape the case used gorilla tape for the test ride :)
