Paul, next week I will celebrate my 68th birthday. So far it has
been fun.
One change I am going to make is that I will no longer supply
complete motor mounts.
I am very interested in supplying a kit which includes the s-beam, oil
pan and rear beam ready to bolt on with the appropriate Barry
Mounts. This is for the 13B, the Renesis, and the 20B. I have
templates for all these. Once these are bolted to the engine and the
engine is jigged in place in front of the fuselage, it is just a
matter of fitting the tubes. I have built a number of engine mounts in
this manner and it is difficult to go wrong.
BTW, while I prefer TIG welding, perfectly adequate welds can be
done with a mig welder or Oxy/Actl. For those who cannot weld, it is
fun to learn and local community colleges have courses, the EAA is
ready to help, there are a ton of books and videos to show the way.
Just practice until your welds are good enough for aircraft, usually
a couple of hours is enough. Or a local gun slinger can be hired.

Sorry to hear that Jerry. What are you going to do with the jig?
Do you know a local welder than can take over the jig. Keep me informed.
