    Larry, thanks for the reply.  I was looking for something a little
    more elegant than the RV-4 mount that I had built previously (please
    see the attached picture).  BTW, Paul has designed a RV-4 mount that
    I like alot better than mine but mine is DONE and I'm not too keen
    about building another mount unless I could just bolt the engine to
    a conical type mount.
