Oblique side shot of the firewall, as requested. The octagonal shape
on top of the nose gear strut is a weightlifting dumbbell I use as a
counterweight. (Someone was going to ask...)

Head-on view of my firewall. I haven't yet drilled the upper mount  hole.


Last item of interest. This is the backside of the FW, looking at  where
the windshield struts attach. Notice the struts come together in the
center, leaving space on each side for bolts. Might be useful to
know when laying out the engine mount.

You can also see the starboard forward side skin longeron just
below my bike. That is where I measured the FW angle.

Great pictures Kenny. Just what I was looking for. I can check
the angles with the side view.

Thanks

I just found this drawing which confirms the 18.5 degree angle.

18.5 degrees it is.

I just finished up a custom cowl for a guy adding a turbo and
intercooler to his 801.
I'm very proud of the internal duct.  I used everything Paul has
taught me over the years :)

Nice work Chris.
