Here are the latest drawings of the Barry mounts in the
firewall engine mount for the Long-EZ.  I've built a
mockup firewall, will start fabricating the mount in the
next few weeks.  That strut on the upper right side may
or may not clear the bottom of the water pump, will find
out when I start putting the thing together.

If this thing works, maybe I'll manufacture them so we
can get all those thousands of Long-EZs out there
converted to correct engine (just kidding, Bill Freeman).

Looks Good Perry. Is this still the Barry 22003 or is it the Barry 22002 mount?
1/2 inch bolts or 5/8 inch bolts? I see those cups helped out a lot
on bolt lengths. After it is welded up those cups can be cut at a 45
degree angle to save some more weight.

BTW Ken Powell, as a matter of interest in this case you can use the engine
to stiffen the mount. A subtle difference. I don't recommend this type of mount for
an RV4 however. 

One minor drawback to this type mount is the absolute need for
those four tubes from each of the four corners of the mount where it
attaches to the rubber bushings in the firewall.

Good job Perry. Thanks for sharing.
