Just a bit off

When I was working on the nose rack I noticed that it didn't line up with the motor like it had before. The nose rack is split down the middle so that the back shaft of the motor has room (the front shaft is the one with the flywheel attached in the back of ... never mind). I made some measurements and the motor is almost a quarter inch too far to the left.
Ugh.
I jacked it up, removed the mount and tried to realign it, but it's still off.
Disgusted, I removed the mount again and worked the bolt holes over with the rat tail file.

It took 4 attempts before I got it to line up right down the center.
