Hi Paul,

Have you decided what the width of the plate should be for most people's needs? I'm building a wide-body Long EZ with a maximum firewall width of 24". Might it be possible to allow users to customize the plate by cutting a bit off each tab of the plate? What would be the minimum width that could still allow use of your mounting plate? Thanks.

That's a good idea Bob. We will keep the lightening holes out of that area so
people can cut the plate off to whatever length fits. 

Here is the rubber mount holder installed on the redrive plate.
This one is a bit narrow at only 1.8 inches wide. Note; a bit of
rubber hanging over the edge. I think I will make the 
production version 2.25 inches wide for a bit more strength
and support for squashed rubber.
