101: Is it permitted to replace a V5 motor mount insert with a standoff once the insert has stripped?
It occurs from time to time that the small metal extrusion on the threaded motor mounts become shredded. The mount is a standoff shaped structure. So is it permissible to replace it with a standoff?
Is it further permitted to remove the internal insert and mount it outside as described in the turntable mounting instructions provided by VEX?
The concern is that these would both be violations of R16
Thank you for your consideration!

Yes, this is legal.
