Here are a couple more shots Jerry.

The torque load on the spacers and bolts between the psru and the
engine are less putting the rubber motor mounts on the plate. This is so because
the rubber bushings react the torque load from the prop. The torque
is doubled by the gear box so 400 ft pounds goes through the spacers
and the bolts into the engine if the rubber bushings are mounted on the engine.
If the rubber bushings are mounted on the plate on the other hand
the bolts and spacers see only 200 foot pounds of engine torque.
Therefor deflections if any will be half.

Paul I just looked at the front view of you engine mounting with a "fresh" view.

How in your wildest dreams do you expect this to work? Where is your side-to-side
bracing?

Finn

We don't need no stinking "side-to-side bracing"! :-)>
Here is the bottom view.

Paul Lamar

Ahh, that's better. I could just see the engine swaying from side to side like a tree in
a breeze.

Finn

Would I do a thing like that? :-)>
