Subject: RV-4 Cantilver Mount - Left upper

Paul (and other Tech Guys),
Attached is a picture of the the 1st prototype for the left upper mount.  I will be rebuilding it to make it lighter (presently 1 lb 12 oz) and to extend further to the rear. Note that the loads should be almost entirely horizontal - the mount attaches to the PSRU end of the engine in 2 places (with gussets) and this should be the main points that pick up the loads.  The rear of the mount attaches to the water pump with 3 bolts and to the rear end housing with a 6MM bolt.  This is a peripheral port engine so there are a few more places to attach brackets on the left side of the engine.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Looks like it will work. So far so good.
