Patrick and Kenny,  here are some pics of Patrick's 13B  engine  mount.
The renesis is the same except for minor details.  When you attach the mount
to your firewall,  start with the bottom corners first and it is much easier
to get the bolts in  with the S-beam removed or at least with the two 1/2 inch
bolts loose.  I taped the firewall bracket in place without any measurement
just to see how it would look.  I think the bracket  will be somewhat higher
on the firewall in final installation.  You can move the strut left or right
to get a perfect (centered)  line up between the two brackets.  Then  measure
what size spacers you will need and I will build them for you.  Kenny,  your
engine mount will be in the fixture Sunday.  The S-beam, corner bushings
and fuselage bracket are done.   Jerry

Looks great Jerry!

I'm out of town at the moment so I can't take a picture, but before
I hit the road I noticed something I wanted to ask you / Paul about.

The nose gear strut channel that the new lower mount brackets attach
to has a rolled flange along the top edges. The flange rolls 'outward'.
Based on the drawings, I think it very likely it will interfere with
the new brackets.

Assuming it does, would it be OK to trim the flange upwards so that
it clears the new bracket? I believe the flange is just there to add
stiffness to the strut channel, which should be more than compensated
by the new bracket. Just want to verify it with you guys though.

Not a good idea. How thick is the roll?
A close up picture would help.
