Bill & Mike.

I just purchased some material for the dyno test stand. I have a piece of 
1/2 inch Oak plywood to simulate the Kis Cruiser firewall and I thought I would try
the rubber bushing in the firewall trick. It will be similar to this drawing
of a Cozy mount. I will take some pictures as I go along. I am hoping to have
this done in the next week or so if I can get at least one car out of the
hangar. Does this type of motor mount scare you guys? :-)

I think it has some advantages in regard to heat and oil damage to the rubber in 
the motor mounts and it distributes the load better into the composite firewall.

If it does not work out in the air one could always go back to a more conventional
mount.

There is also a drawing of the dyno test stand more or less. I am going to bolt
it together rather than weld so other people can copy it easier.
