How to cut aluminum plate?

circular saw would work fine they don't have to be round , just cut a 3 inch strip x12"
then mark itout to cut 2 u shaped pieces 3x3 or whatever , then use some gasket seal to stick them to the frame and mabee tape around them drop the motor in and cut the exposed tape away or just tape them until the sealer sets up just a thought they don't have to be round

did u know that regular old bowl wax works great for blade lube ?
