Paul,   aircraft with sheet metal firewalls don't have a ready made
place to attach the rear engine mount strut.  This includes sheet metal
aircraft such as the RVs,  Mustang IIs and also tube aircraft such as
the Tailwind.  I believe it is  possible to easily provide sufficient
structure to a sheet metal firewall by riveting on lengths of  aluminum
hat section. I envision hat section pieces running horizontally and
back to back angles running vertically.  The strut would attach to
these.    First is this a good scheme?  Secondly, could we have a
drawing of a typical installation?   Thanks,  Jerry

Sounds like it will work fine. Like this Questair Venture rear mount.

OK Will work on somthing.
