Motor mount filler

[XL-C-100]

i am trying to make sense of page 8a... trying being the key word. Am I correct in thinking that I need a lathe to make the motor mounts? I found the rubber mounts for sale but I need some help with how everyone is making the steel and aluminum portions.

I had a problem with that page also.  Yes you need to machine those parts or find a friend or machinist to make them.  I had access to a lathe at my local EAA chapter.  
The aluminum tube is beveled inside diameter which slides into the 1 1/8" OD. steel tube which is also beveled inside dia. to match the bevel of the al. tube so that the rubber mounts will fit into both.   The length of the al. tube depends on where the bevel ends inside the steel tube which is 1 1/8" long.  That ugly smudge in the middle of the steel mount is a weld around the steel tube that fits into the .062 steel plate welded into the corners of station #1.
