 Thanks Jerry, that would be one more thing out of my way to finish

the RV-8

 Yes, using a plate for engine mount.

Will 6061 be adequate for the plate?   I'm told 2024 is not weldable.

Jerry

6061 is fine.  Keep in mind that the flange of the oil pan is not part of my
engine mount so it is not structural.  The mounting plate is a separate
part.  1/8" would be thick enough for the oil pan flange.

Tracy

Don't forget Jerry Tracy is talking about a three rotor.
