I'm in the throws of designing an engine mount for the 13B
in my Long EZ.  Does anyone have, or know the whereabouts on
the web of a drawing of the engine in dwg or dxf format.  I
have the gif drawings that Ed Anderson was kind enough to
post, but I'm thinking more on the line of a drawing with
all points referenced off the E shaft center line.  My
engine is still being built up at Hayes so I can't do this
on my surface table at home.  If I had all my wishes the
engine would have a 12A front cover. If the other reference
surface was either the bell housing mating surface or the
front cover mating surface I could just measure the 12A
front cover and add it in.

Thanks to all,

I have plenty of gifs and jpgs Ken. Rick is looking for a DWG file.
Good luck Rick. Not only do you need a DWG file or DXF file but you need it for the
version of CAD program that you are using. DWG and DXF are generally not interchangeable
between CAD versions. BTW what CAD program and version number are you using Rick?

I think your best bet is do do a new DWG for your CAD program
by using the dimensions off  of these gifs.

Sorry Ken some other time on the picture of your motor mount.

I use ACAD R14 for Windows.

What I should have said is that I would take whatever I could get that offered the
dimensions I need.  You can't blame a guy for not wanting to repeat work that is already
done. :~) I believe what we need is a dimension set that has a common reference point.  I
choose the e shaft centerline and the front cover mounting surface.  I don't care really
about the format, even scanned in hand sketches will do.  I volunteer to translate it to dwg
format.  Anyone who has any dimensions that they believe are critical to motor mount design,
please chip in. I will put it all together.  I will start off with taking the dimensions
supplied by Ed A.'s gifs. and go from there. See supplied .dwg.

Let me know if this came across okay in R12 format.

That sort of worked except for the type style. If you keep something
like the use of layers, type styles and colors down things should be 
more compatible between CAD versions and programs.
