Greg,
Your correct, postage to the US and vice versa is
very expensive. I sent a Bellhousing to the states and it cost
$100.
Where are you located?
I have designed a Bellhousing with integral engine
mount pads (very strong). You can have one at cost and do your own machining if
you wish OR you could use a new design of mine which is a reinforced oil pan
come engine mount. This incorporates the flatplate type design with oil pan
modifications - currently in use.
This all presuppose you have the 'where with all'
to fabricate or machine. I can organize the fabrication of the oil pan out of
chrome molly (at cost).
This the way I will go for my single, if you
wish to be involved I'm in Brisbane.

Dear Greg
I understand
what you are saying about the shipping. Over here if you want to have a
c&c mach shop do just one plate the set up charges would knock your
socks off. I have a shop that has the program already made up so the
price for 20 units is more affordable. send me some pic when you get done.
Have a look at my web site techwelding.com. thanks
Regards
Ed Klepeis

I'm in Australia. As far as I know no one
as posted a drawing of the plate so I thought I might as well. I don't
see why it wouldn't be the same for every airframe. What I have
to do is print a full scale drawing and check it against my sump and I'll
post any changes.
Regards
Greg
Dear Greg
It looks
exactly like the ones I have but without Dim I can't say for sure.Where
are you located? Good luck.

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.

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
