I don't think that is a good idea. What we need back there is a way to
adjust the down thrust angle. Figure out a good way to use these left
and right hand thread rubber rod ends. These are perfect for the rear motor
mount. The 1/2 inch size is about right. Maybe welding some clips on the
stock steel pan.

Simplest method that I have thought of uses the big threaded holes in
 the cast iron on the plugs side, going down to the firewall (up to 
firewall will interfere with alternator belts). Uses left and right 
threaded ball ends.

I forgot about that Bill. Must have been a year or so ago you sent the picture
and we discussed it. That looks great.  Perfect in fact. Very simple. Brilliant idea. 

It will clear the KIS Cruiser nose landing gear as well for icing on the cake.
That 11 mm stud sticking out of the front end housing is real HEAVY DUTY.
I would put a large diameter safety washer on it in the event of failure
of the rubber in the rod end. BTW 11 mm is .4331". Did you bush the
1/2 inch rubber rod end hole? Or is it 12 mm at .4724"

OK Jerry we have a great rear motor mount.
