Glad to be able to answer your question, Finn, this is what this list is good for, pointing out things that may get overlooked ( there are a lot of RV people out there that don't know that there was ever a problem with the RV-3,4 mounts for instance). Fred(thanking Rusty for the website plug)

Thanks Fred.
I'll try to pay attention the next time Rusty (or you) posts a picture of the engine mount.

To address Finn's concern, Rusty sent me the original Lycoming mount for the mount points, Adding the "fix" while seeming to take care of the failures, Van had already designed a better way with the RV-6,7,&9 mounts. Rusty's mount is just a smaller version of this design. It addresses all the issues with the original mount with the addition of another mount point, two diagonal braces, and two shorter tubes welded to the gear sockets to solve the tortional socket twist problems. The gear leg geometry is much more robust than stock mount. Fred
