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.

Regards Greg

Dear Greg

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

                                                                                                   Regards

                                                                                                   Ed Klepeis

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
