The second photo requires a little explanation. This is the Bush Cady
engine mount. It is propped up on a box sorta level.    The level is
laying across the top of the S-beam where it bolts  up under the pan
flange.  Measuring down at the point where the wedge oil pan reaches
greatest depth, there is 5.5 inches vertical clearance to the "X"
brace.   It would be a simple matter to move the X forward/ or back
to gain  more clearance when necessary.  I am pretty optimistic about
how this is evolving.  Jerry

Please pardon my ignorance, but surely an engine mount for a 13B has more
than two points to bolt to the engine? Where are the others, if any? Is the
Bush Cady engine mount builder made, or is it commercially available?

I expect to finish the RV9-A fuse in the next few weeks. I am beginning to
search for firewall forward pieces.

I plan on a P-port 13B of some vintage.

Thanks for helping a newbee.

We use three mounts. The rear is more custom but mostly
fastened to the oil pan. The load is less than 50 pounds.
If you use the left and right threaded rod ends you can adjust
the down thrust angle for max speed.
