Jerry,
  Do you have any beams in stock?
Randy

Yes.

Jerry

Jerry - all of the sudden I'm receiving E mails from you intended for
Randy???? I already have the S beam from you.

I'm Dale Williams in whitewater , Wi. Rebuilding a tailwind w-8 with
a 13B. I'm starting on my converting the tailwind continental mount
to the 13b. So far I've converted my oil pan for S beam and I am
planning on a center mount at the rear of the wankel. I am taking
some photo's so I can make some sense to whoever is interested

We are always interested in photos Dale.
Helps other people to see what has been done.

I am sending 4 photo's and any comments would be appreciated.

Photo #1 Simple bracing as shown plus a diagonal brace across
the bottom of mount. Tubing sizes are comparable to my 14-13
Bellanca - Motors are similar in weight and h.p.

Photo #2 could add a brace from top of gear leg to "S" beam
and possibly eliminate bottom brace.

Photo # Rear mount - modified tailwind mount and used
it for rear hard mount

Photo  #3 rear motor mount thru Barry isolator to hard mount.

Looks good Dale. I assume you are picking up a few oil pan
bolts with the rear mount. I also assume there is a 1/2 inch
aluminum plate between the bottom of the steel rear mount
bracket and the Barry rubber bushing.

I recommend .049 wall 4130 instead of .035 wall merely because it is
easier to weld .049 wall. 0.035 wall is not a problem if you have
a skilled welder and .049 does not add that much weight.

The rear mount cup shown is OK but not perfect. I doubt
you will have any problems as is. Lots of local bending
stiffness in all those tubes welded together.

If you want to make it more perfect do the attached
"rear-2-motor-mount.jpg" modification.

BTW please use MS Paint to add comments to
jpg's instead of MS Word. Less work for me and smaller files
to email.
