Hi Jim, Thank you for the information. I will put a tape measure and straight edge on my wings to see what I have. This aircraft has a history going back to...

Gary- Where did you get the engine mount ring?? I used an Aircraft Spruce ring and the non certified mount rubbers from Spruce. Every thing fit pretty well....

Jim S. thanks for your letter I'm headed for the garage this morning to try your method. I went down to the Co. that makes the vibration mounts yesterday. I...
