I'm making progress on getting the 13B installed in my BD-4,
thanks

to the engine mount I received from Jerry last week.  It's solid
as a rock, and extremely light.

I still need to fabricate a rear mount.  (The 2X4 has to go!)
Jerry talked about using a tube with rod end bearings at each
end, but the bracket on the firewall is very nearly even with the
place on the block where I need to attach, so I'm thinking a
Barry isolator might work better.  The bracket on the firewall
was originally intended for a nose gear attachment.

Great work Jerry, and great design Paul.

I particularly like the salad bowl firewall recess. It looks very
professional- seriously. Brian Trubee

Brian,

It is a nice looking piece of stainless.  I think it was for some
appendage on the IO-360 the original builder had in the plane.
