   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.

Paul,  that reply does not make sense.  I think you left a word or two
out:).  Anyway Kenny,  use inserts on the aluminum housings- the irons
probably will not need them.  Jerry


I don't follow you Jerry. The S- beam is not wide enough to need
the rotor housings bolts. Only the end housing.

There is no load on the oil pan to speak of.

Here is one of your Zenith mount  pictures showing the bolts.

What am I missing?
