Jerry,
After 25 hours of ground runs my Barry Mounts failed. I think I need
stiffer mounts. Can you tell me which ones to order? This is not a
heat issue. But the mounts are in slight compression with the engine
in an almost zero degree up / down thrust line. I actually have
about 1 degree of up thrust to take some of the compression off the
Barry mounts. I was hoping for first flight this weekend.
Thanks,
Bobby
Paul, I can refer Bobby to stiffer Barry Mounts but maybe this is
something you would like to consider from an engineering point of view.
Bobby, Your Barry Mounts are 22002-12. They have an axial load rating
of 175 lbs. There are four stiffer versions:
22002-13 axial load 240 lbs
22002-14 axial load 380 lbs
22002-15 axial load 630 lbs
There are other Barry Mounts but they will not fit your installation.
Only order the ones above.
Order from AEK Technology

Greg or Ken Holz owners. Talk to one of them.
Was this an RV10 mount with a supercharged 13B?
What part of the mount failed Bobby? Got any pictures?
Jerry, if Bobby is not on here can you forward this question?
Mark Steitle, would you take a picture for me if Bobby does not
have a digital camera?

Paul,
I'll be going out to the airport on Friday and will take some pictures then.
I also have some pictures to send you of my Holley 4-Bbl to 20B intake
manifold adapter. I will try to send them this evening. Keep in mind that
I had no intention of flying with this hardware as it wouldn't come close to
fitting under the cowl of my Lancair. The purpose was to enable me to run
the engine on the stand in my garage. It should work fine for a dyno setup
though.
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks Mark.
