     Paul and All,
     Michael Hayes in Australia ( Melbourne) is another one who has had
     the run
     around from Fred. He has taken the money but not supplied, with all the
     promises in the world. Perhaps someone over there should approach him on
     behalf of all the people who are disgruntled customers.
     I will pass this discussion onto Michael so that he's aware that
     he's not
     the only one.

Yes I received my mount about 2 weeks ago, I'd hope that by now he's
catching up with his backlog...the mount looks good, I now have it on my
plywood firewall mockup to start figuring out where everything will go.
I would guess that soon you'll have yours. I'm glad that I didn't wait
'til a few weeks before I needed it to order. I ndid make numerous phone
calls, which he returned, and a few e-mails which he answered.
Hope you get it soon.
Harold


What did the mount cost Harold ?
What does it weigh?

If you are using the Conversion Concepts mount make sure you
shield the rubber bushings from the exhaust. This engine only had
a few hours on it. The rubber bushing is already showing signs of melting.
The rubber bushings catch hell from heat as they transfer the full oil temperture
by conduction directly to the rubber bushings through the
aluminum plate.
