Attached is a zip of several photos of my firewall mount.
Unfortunately it has been in this state for two months now.
I have a turbo engine, my next step is to see if the turbo is
compatible with this mount as is.  If not, I will probably
keep developing it as an NA mount.  And redesign a
new one for the turbo version.

Looks good Perry. I don't see any needed missing tubes.
How does it feel when you wiggle it around?

Very solid.

Does it give a positive impression that it might work?

I think it will work great.  Aren't there some others out there
building this type of mount for Cozy's?

You will get it bead blasted and powder coated won't you? :-)

Sure, if this one ever flies.  At the rate things are going, I would
guess it's a year before I even start putting it in the plane.  I have
to develop the new intake and exhaust systems.  Also considering
a dual Mazda ECU setup with four coils.  A single leading coil
failure will take away both leading plugs.  I have run the engine
on just the trailing plugs (accidentally on the ground), but there
is a noticable power loss. Will get it all running on that test stand
before I transfer it to the plane.

BTW, 120 hours on my plane now.
