is there anything needed to adapt the shell?

the tools, engine, box, loom etc and mechanical knowledge arent a problem, but the actual physical act of gtting the engine mounted to the nova shell has us stumped

obviously, i have one of them too, so that no problem

what i mean is, is the nova shell different mounting point wise, or do the X16 mounts just bolt up to nova body mounts?
