Joe,
Ok I give up. The two engine mounts on the rear of the engine look
intriquing. How and where do they mount to the metal frame shown
attached to the frame. Perhaps there are two more near the flywheel?
Also is lateral cross bracing to be added or is the engine locked secure
(no rubber isolators) to the frame?
Thanks.

Doug,
This Photo should clarify the mount. The rubber mounts are in the vertical
axis for both front and rear ends of the engine.

It is easy to do it that way but the main source of vibration in the
rotary engine is torsional. So you want to rotate the mounts 90 degrees.
Joe, please pass these charts on to Charlie. The Barry mounts are ten times
stiffer radially than they are axially. Also the vertical load is ten times
higher near the flywheel than at the front (car) cover.
