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,

   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
   to 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.

       I will follow your suggestion, and of course we are happy to pay cash.
       I guess I have to get the dimensions for the foxtrot firewall from team tango, right?

     Zoltan

   Yes.

   BTW Alex if you don't mind please take a few pictures of the back side of the
   firewall.

Hi Paul I'm back in Canada just getting ready to leave tomorrow and will only be back in USA beginning of next year. I can look through my pictures and see if I have one though,

Alex

Stay safe over there. We are hearing a lot of horror stories out of Africa these days.
They might mistake you for an American :)
