Paul,  here is a pic of the engine mount  attached to the fuselage
for the first time.  Welding is only partially completed.    I
expected difficulty because it had to mate with firewall bushings
that were installed two years ago for a different engine mount.
However,  the bottom two bushings aligned perfectly.   The top
bushings in the fuselage were about 3/16" closer together than the
engine mount bushings.   These were pulled closer together by heating
one side of the tube and allowing it to shrink.   Took about five
heats on each side, just a little each time, before  they lined up.

You need to get all this stuff on a web site. How is your web site
coming? Also I need a milled motor plate and a couple of those
nifty rubber bushing holders. I'll give you the exact center to center
distance on the rubber bushing in a day or two. As I racall it was
29 inches but let me check for sure. Maybe your guy can mill the plate
I have.

BTW please scan your pictures with a bit more rez. They are a bit too small IMHO.
I doubled this one.
