I don't completely understand what you are saying Bill.
It goes along side the pan. You can also widen the beam to
get
more pan clearance if you wish.

Paul, I believe I was decieved by perspective. There is a horizontal tube behind the engine that connects the top of the gear legs, viewable only in the direct frontal view. I thought that you had the tube connected at or just below the junction of the downtube to the lower triangles. I mistakenly thought that you had a tube from side to side below the engine. I realize that this isn't so. It looked like it in the front view. No big deal.

Paul,

I confess, it was I who told you Jerry Hey made MII mounts-- I had email discussions with Jerry in the past and he had said that he COULD make MII mounts.  I have searched my email archives for whoever it was that told me they HAD made a mount for a guy in Florida, and came up empty.  I went back to the internet to see if I could relocate the site, and, so far, have come up empty there as well.  Whoever it was, the mounts were priced in the $300-$400 range.  If I can locate the site again, I will pass the correct info along.
