I, too, am interested in the idea of a foam model.  I just found out
from Stoddard-Hamilton that they do not have a drawing of the engine
mount.  So, the only way to accomplish the deed is to buy an unfinished
mount from them for locating all of the RG attach points and space for
the gear to tuck.   Using that as a starting point, a new mount that
will fit a 13B and a re-drive can be made.  Sounds like a foam or glass
over foam model will be very useful, providing that the engine mount
attach points are accurate.

Steve, the Mazda motor mounts on the engine vary from year to year.
Perhaps the best thing for a GlasAir maybe the firewall
rubber mount trick like Perry Mick is building.
In that case the foam model would not have the location
of the pan bolts which are usually used for attaching
the tube brackets. I think you will need a real engine
for those. Not to say you can't mock something up
however. I would rather have a real engine before I started
making the motor mounts.

BTW Perry do you have a revised right side drawing with the tubes
relocated further aft to clear the front exhaust pipe?
