Subject: 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
