After 3 1/2 years and just over 400 hours on my Legacy, the spinner was st=
arting to sag below the cowling line by .080 in. =20


We wanted to shim the front engine mount, but by how much?  A (smart) frie=
nd of mine did some measuring.... triangulations and ciphering.  The concl=
usion was to raise the spinner .080 we needed .040 shims to return the spi=
nner to even.


My friend then custom milled some washers (shims) to .040, we installed th=
em and it worked perfectly.  =20



Anyone else with this situation.... remember..... to lift the spinner on=
 a Legacy, try a shim under the front engine mount equal to 1/2 the thickn=
ess you need to raise it.


Hope that helps.
