Hi Paul, here are pics of the finished tango nosegear mount for
the welded portion of it. The welder did a great job on it,

Hey Alex, I really like that nosegear mount you have. I have a
Tango Foxtrot4 on order, would your nosegear mount work on that?
Thanks,
Zoltan
The tango MM won't work on a foxtrot as your firewall is larger than
the tango and the tubes need to be located close to the firewall
edge for maximum strength but Kevin can easily use the standard
foxtrot motor mount jig and make one up, the same way he's doing for
Bruce Cosgrove's tango on the standard tango jig. I couldn't use the
standard teamtango MM jigs because my firewall holes were predrilled
when tjere was a subaru hanging off it and slightly off the standard
amount locations by about 1/2" at each location. Mine cost $1126 in
labour and i think Teamtango paid for the tubing,
Alex
Zoltan, we can make that part but you must pay cash :) Deposit
required. Balance COD.
You can come up to SZP and watch us weld it :)
We will mock it up and build your entire universal motor mount as well.
All I need is a hole pattern dimensions for the firewall, the
position of the thrust line
and the length of the cowl from prop flange to firewall. It is best
the match drill the firewall
after the motor mount is done.
I suggest moving the upper right (pilot-view) hard point 2 inches
inboard to facilitate
a vertically mounted water cooling rad on the right side of the engine .
Some additional reinforcement behind the firewall is called for.
