[Rhodes22-list] Motor Hoist Mounting

[Michael Meltzer]

Stan likes "blind fasteners", thought drill the holes, 4200 for bedding, oversized fender washers on the inside and the nylon insert
lock nuts, be very careful to keep those tracks parallel and spaced correctly, even a little off(like 1/8 of a inch) will have the
lift binding in the tracks.
