I know many of you have purchased the Clear Vue cyclone. Ed advocates mounting the motor and impeller on a frame attached to the wall. How many of you have actually done this? I just purchased a motor and 16" impeller from Ed.
Now, for my concern: If I were to mount my motor and impeller to the top of my blower housing, and not mount it to the wall as Ed's instructions show, will I be OK, or should I reinforce the top mount? It will be mounted on 3/4" plywood. I could add a plate of 1/8" or 1/4" aluminum to the top of the housing and attach the motor directly to that. HUH!
Any and all advise appreciated, as I am getting ready to complete my cyclone. Thanks all around.
