Paul,  thought I would give a verbal report on these projects.  Photos
will follow next week.   We have now made a  MM Plate per your
drawings.  It is full size (the same size that you have on the Kiss
Cruiser).   Next we are working on a narrower version that will fit my
Tailwind and other non turbo installations.  It will be about 12 inches
narrower and very cool looking.  I  will be able to supply MM Plates  in
any width from 20" to 32" measured between the Barry mount centers.
The plates will be notched for the Barry Mount holder and I am planning
to offer the plates  with the Barry Mounts attached.  The stand offs
will also be part of the package but we have not made those yet.

The universal engine mount fixture is growing in mass and complexity.
The MM plate will be attached to a post that adjusts up and down
depending on distance from the prop flange to the firewall.   To
accomplish this I had a pipe sliding inside of a pipe.    Too much slop
in this arrangement, so we have now  brazed a heavy layer of bronze onto
the pipe which will be turned down for a tighter  fit.      I am hoping
that all this will be done and the fixture finished  by the end of next
week.      .......jerry
