I think you should make all back pans 3 degrees Jerry. Three degrees

down thrust is typical for almost all airplanes.

Explain a litter further.  Are you saying you want to tilt ALL pan  rear
panels so that the bottom of the pan is closer to the flywheel or the
opposite?   Either way this would require the rear bracket to be  milled
at  a compensating angle.   Likewise the side panels would have to be
sheared to match.     $$$$.         Jerry

Yes toward the flywheel. You have to shear the side panels at an  angle anyway.
The bracket can be sanded to fit on a disk sander. Its only 3 degrees.
It is up to you. It is not important.

I would like to perfect my performance on the engine mount as it is.
Then we can hone the design further.   Jerry
