I have decided to offer S-BEAM ENGINE MOUNT KITS. The kit will contain the S-beam built to Paul Lamar's drawings so that each kit is still tailored to the individual project. It will also include the high capacity aluminum oil pan and a pick-up so there will be no aluminum fab required. The builder (1) bolts the S-beam and oil pan to the engine. (2) Blocks up the engine in front of the firewall exactly as he wants it to be, and then (3) fits the engine mount tubing. No fixture required and a perfect fit guaranteed every time. Kit price is $900.00. e-mail: jerry@jerryhey.com
<mailto:jerry@jerryhey.com  Sounds good Jerry, For a Long-ez, have you been able to get the overall length of the S-beam to less than 18 inches? Is the position of the bung-hole on the oil pan selectable? Joe Graham Joe, glad to
hear from you. I thought you and Paul were working on the final design. As far as I know the overall length of the S- beam is proposed to be 18.31 inches with a distance between Barry centers of 16.31 inches. Paul, can you take another look at this. If you see no problems, I am ready to go ahead. Joe, the drain has to be in the deepest part of the pan but it can be located anywhere side to side. Jerry That is fine. Paul Lamar Hi Jerry, Is that price good for the 20B also? If not, how much is it going for? Mine will be going into a Velocity SE-RG. Thanks much and best regards! John Bell
Hi John, yes the price is for most engine mounts. You should contact Paul to get the engine mount properly designed so that we know the exact length of the S-beam (and whether it is symmetrical or asymmetrical and also pan details. Assuming there are no unusual features the price is good. Jerry

Thanks for the quick response Jerry :-) I have a Velocity Franklin
engine mount that I was going to use for my engine, and tie to an oil
pan plate that I got from Conversion Concepts before Fred decided to
walk away with the rest of my money. I assume the mount I already have
can be modified to work with the Schertz beam?

John Bell

I think you would be better off selling the Franklin
mount and starting from a longer schertz beam.
Here is what the Franklin mount looks like.

Are you turbo or non turbo? The wide S beam gives
more room for exhaust and a turbo if you need one.

Mock up everything you plan on using with foam blocks
and then design the motor mount. I will also do it for free
if you send me a dwg on the firewall hard points, the length
of the cowl from firewall to prop flange and the thrust line
location.
