Paul,  I am making an engine mount for Ed to use when mocking up.  It
is not a real engine mount for example the S-beam will be a piece of 2
inch angle.    What I need to know is the exact vertical down distance
from the thrust line to the inside bottom of the s beam. (where the
aluminum spacer sits).    Also,  is the Barry center going to be
exactly  half of 3.05 inch?   Jerry

You have to reference is off the lowest of the two 10 MM motor plate
bolts.

Paul,  FYI,  I measured the end housing sent by Perry re the Sbeam.
The bolt centers are 8.941 inch apart and the right hole is offset
0.712 inch up.  You probably already have this data but no harm in
double checking.   Jerry

It will be up to you to drill the holes. You now have a box beam 2 inches high
to work with. The total height using .75 spacers will be 1.462. That will leave
you about a 1/4 below the top (of the beam) for the upper spacer and a 1/4 inch above the bottom
(of the beam) for the lower spacer. Should be no problem.

The spacer is .75 in diameter so half of that is 3/8. 3/8 plus 2/8 (1/4) is 5/8 down
from the center of the lowest bolt.

Yes on the Barry center. Half of 3.05 inches.
