Here a few photos of the first rear beam engine mount, finished and
ready to ship. Since it was the first, we had a lot to learn. It
did not go perfectly but I am pleased to say that we encountered no
fatal errors and we were able to respond with repairs and adjustments
to get to the final product. I absolutely love this engine mount.
It is very strong, light,and out of the way. Look at the room
around the engine for exhaust and intake and cooling. This engine
mount is designed around the concept of the belly rad with the intake
plenum above it.
Of the three photos, I like the last one particularly. Just bolt
on your engine -- no problems of any kind. Congratulations to Paul
for such a beautiful design. Jerry
P.S: bolting the S-beam in place is a bitch currently. I am making
a special tool to make it easier. Once the current crop of S-beams
is expended a new "EASY INSTALL" version will take their place. If
you want roll your own S-Beam engine mount I have 10 beams that I
will sell way below cost, $25.00 ea. They are drilled for the Barry
mount and have the aluminum spacer. Drilling to fit your pan flange
is your problem is all you got to do.
-------------------------------------------------
I think Jerry is exaggerating the difficulties here.
The beam can be bolted on the engine while the engine
is up side down.
Then turn the engine right side up and bolt the beam the
rest of the motor mount.
That should be a piece of cake.
The 6 mm hex socket screws can be placed in the holes in the S beam
and stay there by gravity. Put two aligning 6 mm studs in two
of the 6 mm taped holes in the end housing to align the beam when
it is lowered.
You can see the holes and the screws no problem.
Lower the beam to about 1/8 inch above the end housing
with shims and and start the hex socket screws one at
a time. A hex socket screw has six sides. Six into 360 is 60
degrees the off set hex wrench will turn 120 degrees so you have a
bunch of chances to get it started. When all the hex socket screws are
started remove the 1/8th inch shims and tighten the screws.
