Paul,
Good news, the chap 3 doors up is a tool maker machinist who works

in a

company that makes seals (actually turns -up the rubber)

all CNC.
Anyhow he's seen the drawings for the bellhousing -no problem!

He's going to make my damper rubbers as well !
Does it get any better than this !?

George;
Things are progressing very nicely, like us Yanks say "Getting all the
Ducks in a row"...But I assure you it will get even better, just wait

till you

start producing them, this is when you'll be wearing the "Accomplishment

Grin".

Keep the updates coming!!!!

Butch,
To me that is what it's all about, "Accomplishment" achieving something in
which your interested. Also helping others is a primary objective, of mine,
as well.

To tell the truth, I can't see how I'd ever make money in this, however if I
can recover my investment I'd be happy - which isn't a great deal at this
stage.

BTW George there are too many variations in motor mount brackets to cast

them.

Both vertical position and width. Varies with type of airplane.
Let people make their own out of tig welded alum plate.

Paul,
I hear what you say and have a similar opinion, but I want to do a moulded
set for myself anyway and was hoping you could do a drawing as a guide to
thickness and positions as a guide a standard set-up. I tend to over design
to hell - as you know.
A standard set would be a good test with the bellhousing. as well - I don't
mind doing a set and sending it over for a trial with the bellhousing. I
just think it would look that much more professional and may even be
stronger.

In your case you need to make it as thin as possible. Except where
the rubber bushings go. See the Barry drawings I just sent on that.
Gusset it top and bottom.
