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.
