Rigidly mounting the engine and removing the cradle

[Bellerophon]

Hey guys

I'm not sure if there is a proper term for this - but has anyone rigidly mouted the engine and removed the lower tubes? Not necessarily intending to do this myself (would need a frame first!) but would be cool to see some pics if this is something some people have acheived.

I do not believe the '77 to '81 engine is designed to be a main structural element unlike the succeeding model.
