Does it fit the motor?

While I wasn't able to find the exact bolts I was looking for (these are 1/4" too short), they were long enough to check the mounting hole locations. Once again, the fit was great. I had picked up washers to use with the bolts but their outer diameter is just a hair too big. I will try to purchase flanged bolts which will make this a non-issue.
Below is a view of from the top of the motor looking down. You can see the tapered section of the adapter plate significantly reduces the overall mass. Everything is lining up properly. Once I have the hub in hand, I can attach the flywheel and clutch assembly to the electric motor's shaft and test the fit/clearance of the last critical mechanical drivetrain pieces.
