Should fit fine ,   its a 1200w  so has a little lift than the 1400w .
Not sure which is originally factory fitted , i'd say the 1200w .
Someone here , AJB i think ?, runs two 1400w in a Powerflite with no issues .

Darren, if its the same fittings as the powerflite 1085 it doesn`t fit. It only has 3 lugs, in a triangle shape but not in a straight line, so you need another bracket to fit.

You need to make or buy a bracket.

I made mine long before Powrflite switched to Lamb motors.
If your machine is new enough you should have the bracket
or correct fittings.

Anyone got a picture of the bracket in situ. I have been sent a kit, but looks like i have to undo the plate the vacs sit on to put 2 new screws up, in line with the vac holes.

got a motor off ebay, but the bracket doesn`t line up with the motor holes. Should it line up on a genuine lamb vac

Yes.

The bracket you have is for the OEM motors.
