this is a good point and I admit to have not thought it through yet. I have made two engine mount plates so far because the first one had the exhaust almost touching the exhaust, maybe 1/8" clearance. I will have to come up with some type of shield however. I hope, also, to introduce some fresh air flow over them also.

I'm curious if you're planning some kind of heat shield for that mount strut that runs between the exhaust pipes... or maybe several layers of exhaust tape... something to keep some of that heat away anyhow? Looks scary to me, especially when you consider that those exhaust tubes will likely be glowing red at full throttle. Just a thought.
