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.

 

PLEASE E-MAIL ME DIRECT
