Mask engine brackets?

[itsatoy]

Stripped my engine mount brackets now where do I need to mask. I got all the contact points on the frame but not sure how to handle the brackets.

This is for grounding continuity?
Like, don't bother? There should be a grounding strap from the engine to the frame.

 

[itsatoy]

Yes, just for grounding. There are two grounds that were between the brackets and washers on the bolt heads.

Don't worry about it. Plenty of opportunity to ground the engine through the bolts as well as the straps on the head. Are you planning to eliminate the ground straps on the head? Still shouldn't be an issue.

Nope, not eliminating anything. Thanks guys!

i know on hd bikes we always masked the engine mounts on the frame when powder coating or painting them.

the vibration would turn the paint or coating to powder causing the bolts to loosen.

Yep I masked all the contact points on the frame after I sand blasted.
