Paul,  I am going to build a Kiss Cruiser Schertz Beam engine mount.
Could you determine in your CAD program if the 32.5 inch (overall)
beam
will clear the cowl?  BTW it does clear the Tailwind cowl by 1.5
inches.  Most cowls are more spacious than the TW.   Do you have a
drawing on hand of the Long EZE that you could check for same?   If
it
fits the Kiss and the Long EZE, then it will fit anything.
Thanks,
Jerry

I don't have a good 3D model of the Cruiser cowl. Best thing I could
do is

mock

it up with a piece of wood and see if my cowl fits over it. My guess
is it

would fit.

One point. The Schertz beam lowers the position of the rubber
bushings

relative

to the engine compared to the motor plate method so it might get
them down

in

the area of the cowl that starts to curve under the engine. I assume
that

Bill

Schertz's cowl fits over his Schertz beam. In that case it should
fit.

Bill

is that true?

BTW there are two cruiser cowls both Bill Schertz and I have the
early

short ones

as I recall. I think there is a later longer one. Charlie what is the

distance

from firewall to prop flange on your Cruiser cowl? Also Charlie check

these

Cruiser firewall mounting points dimensions carefully. Since Charlie
is

not

that far from you perhaps he can bring his cowl down.

I don't have much on the Long EZE. I'll check.

Paul,
My beam 'just fits' in the cowl, but I am away from my notes right
now so
cannot give you the spacing of the barry mounts.

Bill,  is  your engine a turbo?
