In answer to a question posted, I
do remember struggling with the mounting bolts on my two previous ES's, but I
did get them without too much problem. I can't see how I'm going to get
these to go in on the Legacy. If I need to find mounts with eccentric
holes (someplace??), I think that means that the engine mount isn't correctly
designed to fit the engine.
Of course, the biggest problem with the engine
mounts is that they sag after some hours of operation, and since the amount of
sag doesn't seem very predictable, having the spinner and cowling match up at,
say, 100 hours, is more or less a matter of dumb luck. I even replaced the
front mounts on my last ES with the really expensive green jobs, but
after about 20 hours, they ended up looking just the same.
