Greg,

I would go with the Barry 22002-14 mounts. The ones Fred = supplied were -11 and they ripped apart after about a year of just supporting the engine. I have less than an hour of run time! I replaced the = ones in the front with the -14 because they can support a max load of 380 lbs = each. The two in the front carry almost the entire engine load since they are = almost in the balance point for the engine and prop = assembly.

Thanks Ed, but freight would cost more than I = can make the thing for I'd expect. I'm not exactly local. Does = my drawing look correct compared to the original. It's cut out for = Barry 22002-12 mounts.

Dear Greg

         If interested I have mount plates all machined up ready to = go.

Subject: = [FlyRotary] Starting RV8 engine mount

Hi, I started the engine mount for my RV8 with = Renesis engine today. Copying the basic design of the CCI mount for which I = was ripped off, I bought some Al plate 0.5" thick to fit between = sump and engine and made a CAD drawing so the water jet cutters can finish it = off. I've attached the drawing for anyone interested. I haven't had it = plotted to full size scale yet so there may be some = errors.

With some of the excess Al I'll make a spacer to fit = between the oil pickup and engine so the pickup is lowered by the = same amount as the plate. The oil pickup uses an O ring for a seal so I'll get the = spacer machined to take an O ring as well. The drawing shows 2 spacers I = thought I may as well have a spare since it's just scrap = material.

Regards Greg
