Paul, do you know anyone that makes  a generic
motor
mount for a 20B?

Dave Atkins has modified the Franklin mount for
a 20B powered
Velocity pusher airplane.
What kind of airplane do you plan using it in?

Paul and Dennis,
I bought the Velocity 20B Motor Mount from Chuck
Harbert when he changed over
to a IO540.  Can provide pics if your interested.
Don Mitchell

Yes that was a Franklin mount.
I have a few Don but please send me what you have.

Paul,  What would it cost for one of your 20B mounts?
It would be a good starting point for me to have one
for me to hang my 20B from a plywood mockup.

Here is the way I see it Dennis. You will save a lot of money if
you can order the 1/2 plate and cut it out on a band saw leaving
a pilot hole exactly in the center where the drive shaft goes.
And a large hole where the starter goes with a slightly undersize hole
saw. 

Industrial Metals in Burbank CA will cut and ship 1/2 plate.
Send it to me and I will use Tracy's redrive plate to mark the position
of all the little holes and bore the place where the oil seal goes.
and the final bore on the large pilot hole for the starter.
I will then send it back to you for final drilling of all the little 
holes and you can match drill the starter mounting holes.
