Paul,  can  you give me the exact locations for the lower center engine
attach points?   Are there clearance issues I should be aware of?
Thanks,  Jerry

Here is your drawing and a drawing of what I did.
My drawing shows the holes inside the front motor mount brackets
but it will work just as well with them out side the brackets.
Here too is the firewall dimensions that came with the KIS Cruiser.

Unfortunately I don't have the drawing on the position of the brackets
here so perhaps Charlie can send you a sketch. Maybe later today I can get
that
info.

  Jerry,

Here is the latest drawing showing the locations of the front gear lower
mount attach points.  I have changed the reference in the drawing from the
top of the firewall to waterline zero.  This makes more sense for you as the
two upper motor mount holes lie on the waterline zero line.  The thrust line
is exactly one inch above waterline zero.  I have the four lower attach
bracket bolt holes located with reference to WL0 and the firewall
centerline.

Let me know if you have other questions or need other reference
measurements.

Charlie

Jerry, If you are going to put the diagonals outside of the nose gear brackets
(9.5 inches apart) try an X under there and see if it clears the oil pan. Are you 
using s stock oil pan Charlie? If you put them inside the brackets they need
to be 4 inches apart. The brackets themselves are 3/4 inch thick aluminum plate.
