Default Building a motor box for Zenoah G-26

Hello guys!
I need a little help in either building an good strong motor box or buy motor mounts that would bring my Zenoah G-26 out one inch from the firewall. The ARF plane I bought came with glow type motor mounts the rail type, so I can't us them. The G-26 has a flat mount, so I need to build a box. Can anyone give me some good pointers in this build or point me in the direction of a good place to buy mounts that would work with a Zenoah engine! Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You, Gerry

Or if you're cheap like me you go down to the hardware store and buy a piece of aluminum rod and cut and drill them yourself
here's the last set I made, 1-3/8" w/ #10 bolts

good luck

Thank you Scale
I don't see your name anywhere's, but thank you for helping me & posting websites for me to check out. I'm not cheap, but I am on a budget "my wife says"..lol I don't have a drill press for drilling straight through the aluminum rods, but I might try doing that. If I'm not happy with my drilling, then I'll order from the websites you advised me about, I've already checked them out!

Thanks again
Gerry
