[Help] How to make V6 fake engine without engine bracket?

[Mantarri]

I'm making a C model of 42043 MB Arocs 3245, and it would look so much cooler with a V6, but I can't seem to figure out how to make a stable V6 without the bracket pieces that go at either end ov the V fake engines in Lego models/MOCs.

Any pictures/idea are appreciated.

You could try using the T-shaped piece and add a 1x5 beam and an extra 1x3 beam in the shape of a bracket. The engine blocks should hold it in place.

Check any of Crowkillers' models including the free instructions for the Scorpion.  He uses a built-up bracket.

Thanks, that worked prefectly, and thanks to you too @Paul Boratko.

Here's an LXF of a V12 with Crowkillers' studless engine bracket and here's a V8 with the gear inside, similar to Crowkillers' Scorpion. The DBG axle-pin connetors in the last one should be replaced with 3L ones.

You can also build one 100% homemade  engine without the technic cylinders. More compact, more room for détails and equal efficiency
