About 5 months ago I coughed up the $$ for the extended engine mount and
cowling. Upon arrival, the mount was OK but both top and bottom cowling had
been damaged in transit.In addition, this cowling was exactly the same length
as the original. Last week the new replacement cowling arrived and guess
what....Same length as the original.When I scraped to the bottom of this snake
pit, my discovery was that in 12/94 when the original kit arrived, it included
the new extended cowling and the OLD short mount. No wonder things didn't fit.

Had the correct mount been included in my kit, I would not have had to make
that hole on the firewall to accomodate the prop gov as well as recquisition a
stainless steel bowl from my wifes' kitchen.

In the end, they made it right by refunding mount, cowling and freight.
