Mark, good news. According to Paul today, the oil pan will not
require modification with this version of the Shertz Beam. I am
enthusiastic about this engine mount as it does not require expensive
machining, is light weight and if used in the 27 inch width should
provide plenty of room for your exhaust system.
The next step is for you to determine the distance from the face of the
prop flange (using Tracy's drive?) to the firewall.
( drive + engine + space between engine and firewall.) Secondly, you
need to determine the vertical position of the thrust line in relation
to the firewall mounting holes. The top holes will be ??? above the
thrust line and the bottom holes will be ??? below the thrust line.
Once you have this data, we give it to Paul and he will return with a
properly engineered drawing.---Jerry
Providing you can get it to me in the next couple of days :) I am leaving
for Japan on Sunday and then from there to Sun & Fun.
