 Nice work Jerry. Perfect. That is the short version. Could be as much as 30 inches long..
center of rubber bushing to center of rubber bushing. I am happy to see it fits
the unmodified Mazda oil pan.

    Most everyone talking about the beam mount is using it in a tractor configuration, but what about its use in a pusher configuration?  Are the
compressional, tortional, and shear loads it would experience in this mode adequately accounted for in the present design?  I apologize for these questions so
long after the design is perfected, but I'm not an engineer and I can't tell by just looking; and would you still favor the beam mount in a pusher rather than
a more conventionally designed mount?

Thanks,
Robin

Everything is the same Robin. Yes I would favor it. Can't be beat for low
cost and simplicity.
