XUD mounting points?

Would anybody happen to have the measurements of the BX engine mounting points? Working on a project to fit and old XUD engine to power the firewood processor, and it is a bit difficult to measure them from the engine accuratelly enough to make sure the jig is a perfect fit.

Well, there she goes:

I'll post the measurements once I get them..

I imagine that may be a touch "vocal"

Yes, I should think the exhaust back pressure will be a bit off as well...

Just fitting it first, it still lacks the cooling system, battery, exhaust etc.

Proceeding steadily but slowly..

Any ideas how to elegantly fix the top of the radiator?

Brrr, that looks cold! Not sure how elegant you'd consider it, but you could weld a couple of tabs onto the top of the frame, extending over the pins on the radiator. Drill and tap the tabs (or weld on a nut) and screw down into the pins on the radiator.

I applied your idea with a slight modification:

Didn't know that you could buy a banner battery out your way, i've got one fitted to my txd.
