I don't see any top center upper hard points on these two Exploded Views of
the 801. I just got these off the Zenith web site.

8XF-2 and -4 are just 2 of the many dwgs that contain bits of the whole
puzzle. If you follow the braces from wing roots forward and down, the plate
only suggests the point in this view.
It takes over 5 different drawings in my 640 plans to get a complete picture
of what goes on with the firewall. It would take some digging on the Zenith
site to get them all for the 801, but I'd be surprised if they all weren't
there. The 801 is one of their more popular designs and gets lots of
engineering attention.

I can see that the two tubes coming down to the firewall from the wing
mounting area beef it up effectively. Strange they are not shown on the
firewall dwg's. Of course the low wing 640 does not have those tubes.
Is Jerry building a motor mount for you?
