So Andy, do you machine up brackets that allow the RD engine to be fitted to the 3XV, without having to modify the chassis (I have seen this on an RG into an RGV chassis) or brackets that need to be welded into place?

The chassis requires mods. Our CNC'd mounts need to be welded in, the inner right side spar needs to be clearanced and plate welded in, subframe cut off and machined mounts welded in place for a bolt on unit (think '95 tz250 style), exhausts made specifically for this application, etc.......
