the motor mounts don't need all that much in the way of precision
just sketch out a bolt together one and print out drilling templates
bolt holes allways have some clearance so you can be a little off
here and there (more than you can with a PCB anyway)
for the size of motor you're talking about you can use just about anything
metal ,plywood or an old plastic cutting board would work

and once you have the motors mounted you'll have that extra incentive to
look for the electronics ;)
