Paul, FYI, I have been contacted to build engine mounts for an RV -7  and
also a Zenith 801.  The RV7  wants a belly radiator (symmetrical S-  beam ?)
but otherwise probably the drawings you have already done will  suffice.  The
801 is different from anything we have done.  The firewall leans  back about
18 degrees,  there is a fifth hard point top
of the firewall center and the drawings are metric.     I will send
all the data as soon as I receive it, probably next week.   Jerry

OK Jerry. No problem. Probably not as bad as Thorp :)

Jerry, What engine are you planning to use for the 801? If I'm not  mistaken the 801
and 640 share the same firewall. Any chance of pooling resources?

The engine will be either a 13B or a Renesis.   One thing you can do
is take advantage of Paul's engine mount drawings when they are
published.  It would be nice if the 801 and the 640 shared "exactly"
the same engine mounts.  Unlikely unless they share the same firewall
to prop flange distance.  I would be interested in comparing the
plans.  Let's keep in touch.    Jerry
