Paul,
Origional mount on the glastar sportsman is a 5 hole mount.
distance between botom two holes 31 1/4 inches
Distance between two upper holes 36 3/4 inches
Distance between botom holes and upper holes vertically 21 3/4 inches
Distance between the top outer holes and top central hole 20 1/2
inches
existing distance from firewall and prop flange is 35 inches, but this is
an Eggenfellner subaru 6 cylinder motor and quite heavy I believe. I would
expect that a rotary would have to be mounted further forward for the C of
G.
Thrust line as near as I can see is 3 inches below the upper outside holes.
I am hoping to use the top central mount hole for the back mount on the
motor. Currently it does nothing.

Neil,
How far above the top firewall hard points is the top center firewall
hard point? I don't think it is 20.5 inches.
About the shortest practical firewall to prop flange is 37 inches.
The CG of the rotary is about 16 inches aft of the prop flange.
What did the soob weigh? The rotary with gear box, starter, prop,
alternator, intake muffler etc etc weighs about 300 pounds.
You can always move the battery to the firewall.

Here is the preliminary.
