The angle bracket on the firewall is actually per the design of the Falconar
F-12. A lot of Jodel engine mounts are this as well. The plans are unclear
as to material it only indicates 1&½" x1/8 thick angle. I tried finding this
in 4130 but was unable to so I settled for mild steel. The triangular end
caps are a great idea and I think I will use it. The design does call, for a
strap to be welded so that it bridges the tube to angle iron on the back
side as well. Here is an example as seen on Hans Teijgeler's Jodel DR1050
with a Subaru in Holland.
