Default Engine Mount question - Need answer

I have an electric plane that had a motor mount for a brushless. The mount looked just like one you would see on a gas plane but made out of wood. The two prongs coming out to mount the motor on top of. It had two braces to clamp on to the motor.

Now I have a brushless 450 motor. I believe it was the outrunner I picked up. I realized before I left the store that most of the motor body turns and only the backplate stays stationary so it would not work with the existing clamps. I asked the guy there about it and he said I need to build some sort of mount that brings the firewall forward. I noticed on towerhobbies.com that they already have premade ones. I would like to fly this plane on sunday so I don't have time to wait on a shipment, so I don't mind building one to have it ready sooner.


What materials should I use, and if you have pictures / plans for ones thaty ou have already built can you please share them so I don't have to figure a new design out.
