This fix is probably best for new motor mounts using existing beams.
It lowers the beam and inch or so and consequently it raises
the thrust line an inch or so if the motor mount is already welded
up. If new mount is being made the mount can be adjusted to get the
thrust line in the right place.  The four plates are .065 thick
4130. Best to put the nuts on the back side of the flex
plate.

Hi Paul,

Since the box beams were bent up to match the width of Tracy's spacers,
the tabs would make it too wide, so the existing beams couldn't be used
with this mod.  How about welding a supporting structure to the bottom
of the beam in the center where the box structure has been cut back?  I
would think the box could be cut back to a 'U' section in the center if
the right strengthing member were added to the bottom.

Please measure your beam width for me Bob. Should only be 2.70 inches wide.

The spacing between plate and engine should be 3.050 or 3.080 I forget
which.

If the spacer lengths are less than that you might have a problem with your PSRU.

This will work and make it bullet proof whether you choose to cut
the big hole or drop the beam. This is 1/2 inch square 4130 tubing and 1/2
inch round 4130 steel spacers.
