Get rubber feet from McMaster Carr. They will accommodate about 1/16" of unlevelness. Add washers to get more, or use small pieces of peel and stick floor tile under the feet.

Got the mounting plate aligned today, and thought I'd share some tips using this method.
Took some trial and error today getting the fit right, and another chance to use the alignment checking method for the motor.
Well easier said than done I was to find out!...
Thinking a short pencil would be the most suitable for the job, I kept breaking leads, slightly puzzled lead to pondering other ways to reduce
the force, thinking a wee spring might have been a good idea, whilst experimenting with the masking tape, but was still questioning how I succeeded earlier.
Two things became obvious, the first being the motor was adjusted at the max belt length, so the plank wasn't as well balanced.
The second was the length of the pencil, being longer I could see it compared, and possibly provides some sort of give, could be a mix of the three of these things.
Another little trick I found out, was turning the pulley, whilst lifting and dragging is the easiest way to draw the line.
Now one could just easily prick a few dots and join them instead with a rule, same result.

Eager to see how it'll work now.... :D
Perhaps just another red herring?
