   In answer to a question posted, I do remember struggling with the mounting bolts on my two previous ES's, but I did get them without too much problem.  I can't see how I'm going to get these to go in on the Legacy.  If I need to find mounts with eccentric holes (someplace??), I think that means that the engine mount isn't correctly designed to fit the engine.
 
Of course, the biggest problem with the engine mounts is that they sag after some hours of operation, and since the amount of sag doesn't seem very predictable, having the spinner and cowling match up at, say, 100 hours, is more or less a matter of dumb luck.  I even replaced the front mounts on my last ES with the really expensive green jobs, but after about 20 hours, they ended up looking just the same.
