Nice work on the bracket and LG. Any idea what the bracket weighs ? Looks like you cut the stock battery tray off in order to mount yours, is that right ?

Yes, i cut the front two screwing points off, and leveled the plastic to fit the bracket. The bracket iself is mounted around the second top screwing point of the frame and it pivots around it.
It weighs around 50g inclouding two nuts and bolts. You could optimise that mass but i don't really care for 10g difference.

Can you post some more pictures of your bracket? I'd like to do something smart about the tray but I have no good ideas (yet). I'd like to see what modifications, if any, you did to the plastic frame. I'd like to squeeze in my two 3S1P 2500mAh packs on top like you do, and eventually even some 3200mAh packs, so I need some space.

I'll post them, no problem. I just need an hour or so.
