When the time comes we can remove the soob from the motor mount
and take the mount into gainesille so he can weld the nose gear brace tubes.
I will fab the necessary brackets and bring them with me.
You should also start thinking about the oil pan. I have a guy
out here that can do a good job on an oil pan with rear motor mount
welded on.

Hi Paul, I'd be happy to go ahead on having the oil pan made up, please let me know the cost and shipping and I'll
arrange a cheque if that's ok

Alex

Just trying to plan ahead.
OK alex I will work on it.
Does anybody else need an oil pan.
It will look something like this.

But better welding. This one was welded by an amateur.
Perfectly functional but lacking cosmetics. The guy I have in
mind to weld it is an artist.

8 quarts to delay oil overheating on take off.

We will make a lexan drilling template from the oil pan that is
on your RX8 engine now.

I might be interested in such an oil pan for my 640 if the price were right. The lower rear mount would require less re-work and alteration (of the factory fuse an cabin) than the top center arm. Can you make them for the 13b as well?
Will be taking AWS TIG certification course in the next few weeks, so if it's not in the cards, a CAD dwg of the pan (with the necessary features)would be cool.

That's three. The metal is cut on a NC punch so that is one third the tooling charge for only one. This is the same type of NC punch Van's uses to make RV kits.

The lower rear mount works well if you have a nose gear structure to tie it into.
