Even though the gear is mounted on the engine mount you will still have to supply structure to the lower firewall where two additional hard points have been added. You will go from four hard points to six. I have the plans for how this is done in the Tailwind. The RV plans would be more applicable to the BD4 of course. I would like to see that page from the RV plans if anyone can share it.
