(and its German equivalent DIN 16742) is the international standard for dimensional and geometrical tolerances of plastic molded parts . It replaces older standards like DIN 16901 to provide a more consistent framework for injection molding and related processes. Key Tolerance Tables & TG Groups

The machinist reads the PDF, applies the correct deviations, and the bracket is cheap to produce (not over-toleranced) but still fits the motor. (and its German equivalent DIN 16742) is the
