Pdoz- aluminium wouldn’t be too hard to work with, f/g may shatter ?

Looking at the mounting points , I'm thinking a degree of plasticity / sacrificial bash plate makes sense ? ( There's 2 screws to the lower frame, but also 2 on the motor.) The original plastic plate has snapped at the motor mounts - which is a lot smarter than it breaking the motor! There is about 2 fingers gap between the plate and motor, I'm not sure it that's because they used the prepro 2017 part , or designed it that way but I'm going to risk a closer fit / less flexible fibreglass version for a few rides then ponder some more.
I've had alloy motorbike bashpates tear frame lugs off.... much to consider
