I also would like to give my thanks to Laura, Tracy and others for a great
rotary meeting.  I learned a lot.  One thing is that I might should
consider using a Renesis instead of a 13B since I'm not that far along.

Unfortunately, this concept creates new engine mount considerations for my
Glass Goose.  I was planning on using a 12A front cover for this mount,
which will not fit a Renesis.

Does anyone have any pictures, diagrams or measurements of the factory

RX-8

engine mounts?  I've been unable to locate any so far.  These might be
close to what I need for my front (pusher) mounts.  The alternative might
be a custom fabrication that could get quite involved.

I have a few Scott. They are pretty nice being aluminum forgings.

Paul Lamar

Thanks, Paul.  I thought the RX-8 mounts were off of the front housing, but
this drawing looks like they are a little farther back -- on the front
rotor or middle housing.

If you or anyone can get some approximate, rough dimensions from their
RX-8, it would be great.  I need the distance between these mounts, the
distance  from the front cover or pulley to the mounting bolt for the
rubber bushing, and the height of the mounting flange at this point.

Thanks, again,

Scott
