NOT to nitpick, but I suggest to keep measurments as they were designed.
The Renesis being a Japanese piece of pride this would make (11 7/8" =
301.625 mm) a very odd measure.
Not having a Renesis ( or any other Rotary for that matter) available, I
can't really stomp on it, but I doubt that the Mazda Engineers put a measure
like that in the engine. It is most likely something like 300 mm or 305 mm -
worst case any full mm in between...... to get an odd measure in a place
like this (reference line) is inviting trouble down the road....
I understand your dislike of metric (the metric world has it even harder
with standard...), but if you mix the 2 measuring systems it should occur on
a well defined line. In your case it would be the Conversion Concept mount.
Do yourself a favor and get a set of calipers in metric (or some that have
both measurements on it).

Subject: [FlyRotary] Center line of Renesis
Does anyone know where the center line of the E-shaft on the Renesis is in
relation to the oil pan bolts?
The oil pan bolts are on 11 7/8 inch centers(measuring across the width of
the engine). Is the center of the E-shaft centered on these bolts? Also
what is the height of the center of the E-shaft above the oil pan/engine
juncture?
I am working to build my own engine mount and need these measurements to
set
up the thrust line and offsets.
I am using the plate from Conversion Concepts, but Fred's illness
prevented
him from building the remainder of the mount in a timely manner.
So, I am now on my own. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill Bradburry
