I spoke with Fred at Conversion Concepts. I ordered an engine mount from
him for my 13b Velocity project. He stated he believes the new Renisis
engine will mount the same as the later model 13b's. Do you have any
insight/confirmation to this? Anybody....Bueller? Bueller?????
Hi, Chris.....glad to hear you ordered a mount from Fred at Conversion
Concepts. I purchased my 13B mount for my SQ2000 from Fred also. I was so
impressed with the quality of his workmanship. After giving him my mounting
point dimensions, thrust line and firewall to prop flange dimensions, the
mount arrived shortly thereafter, and when I held it up to my firewall, all
four mounting holes lined up exactly where they were marked on my firewall.
It was great to get a custom mount that actually fit like a custom
mount should. My wife says it's too nice looking to put a cowling over it.
She kept going on and on... something about a contemporary end table with
glass on top. I quickly mounted it to my firewall just in case she was
serious.
I had to remove my engine from the mount to install some bellcranks
and rudder pulleys on the firewall, so I can't furnish any pictures of the
engine on the mount right now, but soon I will have it back on, and will
send some more recent photos to Fred, so you might see it on his web site
soon. Take care, and good luck with your Velocity.
