    Patrick,  your engine mount is tack welded together, looks good and is
    out of the fixture.   Here are some photos.    I included two of the
    digital protractor showing the fixture is  dead on.  I know I am
    bragging  but it was a big deal here.    It made my day!!

    Did I mention that you should install thread inserts in the pan bolt
     holes that are in the aluminum housings.  The irons should be checked
    but they are probably o.k.   Either HeliCoil or Time Serts are fine.  It
    is something to do  while waiting for the engine mount.

     More later,   Jerry

    p.s.  Paul, I have published so many pictures of S-beam engine mounts,
    I don't know if  you want to publish more or not.   As  you wish.   BTW,
     I think this engine mount  design is the the best yet.  It is a
    pleasure to work on.


    Looks great Jerry.

Jerry / Paul,

What size helicoils should we install?

Thanks,
--Kenny A.

six mm but I don't really think you are going to get into
the aluminum rotor housings. The cast iron end housings does not
need them.
