Lycoming style engine mount accessory
cover
I am investigating casting an accessory cover to
replace the stock Mazda cover. So far I have roughed out a mock up in
foam. With the following objectives:
-
Replacement of stock Mazda cover & water
pump housing in one piece with integral filler cap.
-
To be able to bolt straight onto stock
Lycoming ( conical ) engine mount. Dynafocal possible would depend on
demand.
-
Relocate water pump & alternator to same
unit
-
No distributor drive height problem by
deleting distributor (crank Sensor)
-
Weight saving about 15lbs
-
No new aircraft engine mount to fabricate
weight saving and cost saving for many existing aircraft from 0235 to
0360.
-
Same thrust line as Lycoming
As this is still in the design and fabrication
stage.
I would be interested to have input from anyone
who is potentially interest to asses demand and my design goals are
on the right track.
