Paul,
  I meant to say BD4 to 13B mount plans available?

 Ben Lane


  Can you tig weld?
  No plans but I can send you tubing lengths for our universal
mount.
 Here is a universal mount on a Tango.
The universal mount eliminates the need for a welding jig.

Hey Ben Lane,
 I am working a BD-4 project and also seeking the BD-4 to 13B mount. I can TIG weld. Feel
free to contact me directly regarding the BD-4. I'm in Auburn Nebraska (that's 60 miles
south of Omaha).

 John, I don't publish the phone numbers and email adress
to discourage the bots but will forward the info in
private email to anyone that request it.

 I will @ some point John. thanks

  Paul, What happened to the robo welder? Maybe he wasn't on list for that.
 Might be easier to do them a batch job of bd4 mounts.

I still have it. That is an option to welding it yourself.

 Ben, Craig is referring to a machine I built
 to weld fittings on the end of 4130 motor mount one inch round tube
 members automatically. It only works for the round tubes.

 There are two one inch square tube ends in each mount that must be welded by
 hand. My part time welder can do that for a small charge but any person that
 tig weld can do that rather easily.
Here are some pictures.

 Ben and John,
Here's my BD-4 with Renisis engine mount. I had it made by Jerry Hey, and unfortunately
the air-frame side wasn't exactly like the plans and the mount didn't line up. I had to
cut off the upper arms and make an elaborate jig to capture the holes and angles. It took
a few tries but I got it to fit. I'm still trying to decide on a cooling system and
exhaust arrangement, that can be upgraded to a turbo in the future.

Sorry to hear that Kevin. Jerry did not always get it right.
That was one incentive for developing the universal mount
that is adjustable to fit.

The tunning is for rather low RPM based on the looks of the
intake runners.
