SNIP ............

         Mike's starter location is probably how I will do it.  That's one
of the pieces that I'll put on last and put it where it has room.  I'm
hoping to do a complete fire wall forward test stand so I can just swap the
whole thing over when I have it debugged.  I don't want to ground a flying
plane until I have something ready to go.

Mike,
I built my test stand out of 2.5" steel angle - mine is also the welding jig for the engine mount so I wanted it really stiff to keep warpage to a minimum.  All my welding is oxy/acc. The firewall forward mockup has been indespensible since only the tail feathers and part of one wing are built.  As a gearhead I just couldn't wait to get started on the engine installation.
