no there are no alum parts to take the load. the layup schedule over the
1/4" ply is pretty beefy and i dont see any reason to change it, it looks
like its more than enough to take the load.
it holds nats lyconasaurus and the mazda is supposed to be lighter and
smoother running so i dont see the problem.

Hey norm,
Nat's design is fabulous, but performed to 180-200Hp. Not 250Hp....

How does it look to you in the area  above the spar norm? We would
like to move the rubber mounts up into that area.

Above the spar there's upper longerons, and above it, there's the turtleback.
The longerons level are put in the most large part of the firewall, so, maybe
the structural resistance will decrease moving the upper hardpoint above the
original place suggested by the plans, I figure.
