Yes the spacer tube is inside and the
bolts are torqued down on it. What is happening is that the rubber that
the bushing is made of is crushing down. It is too soft to support the weight
of the engine with the PSRU on it at that end. I would imagine that the
engine/PSRU center of gravity is close to those bushings and they are
supporting 90% or so of the total weight. The two bushings at the
rear are ok, but they have very little weight on them.

Do you have the correct
length spacer tube inside. That would allow the bushing to crush down like
that. if it is not the right length

I noticed that the bushings that
Fred furnished with the motor mount plate are not up the job. The bottom
half has crushed down by close to ¼ inch. I wonder what mounts the
rest of you are using? The lower picture is of the left (pilot)
side and the top is the copilot side. Both are on the front. The
rear seems to be holding up ok. I first noticed this when I saw that my
spinner was not aligned with the cowl very well…
Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
