Works for me!


Paul and Steve,   Steve gave me a prop flange to firewall distance of
39.5"  I am trying to reconcile this with the measured cowl length of
41 inches.  It may be that there is  an extra 1.5 inches that can be
added to the prop extension while keeping the engine at the proper
distance from the firewall.     Jerry

I am not going to redo that motor mount again :) I almost have it
done. Just stick the cowl on there and measure what
you need before you order the prop extension.

Steve.

Here are the dimensions guys. Check them carefully so when
Jerry sets it up in the jig and welds it.... it will fit the firewall.
Some of the parts on the dwg might be off a few thou but that
is of no consequence as it is up to Jerry to place them
accurately in the jig going on the correct dimensions alone.

Steve, best to ship Jerry a thin sheet metal template
match drilled with the firewall holes. The Lancair design has a lot
of mounting holes in the firewall due to the retractable
nose gear. Either that or don't drill the holes in the firewall
until you get the motor mount.


BTW Steve, can you take a picture for me of the back side
of the firewall. Not needed for this job but I am just curious.
