INSTRUCTIONS

 

the distance from the back of the motor mount to 
the front of the prop plate is the same as the cowl 
measurement you made earlier.  

 

44.  Use a ruler and measure up from the bottom of 

the firewall

 3-1/2”.

  Mark a horizontal line 

across the firewall at that point. 

  

45.  Use your ruler again to find the center of the line 

and mark it.  Make a second mark 1/8” to the 
right of the center mark, and make a second 
mark, then draw a line perpendicular to the first 
line. 

 

46.  Center your engine mount on these lines, then 

mark the holes on the firewall. 

 

47.  Drill the holes for 8-32 bolts and temporarily 

mount the engine on the firewall with 8-32 x 1” 
bolts (Dubro #318), washers (Dubro #327), and 
blind nuts (Dubro #347).  

48.  Measure the distance from the firewall to the 

front of the prop back plate and compare to the 
measurement you calculated earlier.  You should 
have a minimum of 1/8” clearance from the back 
of the prop to the front of the cowling.  If 
needed, use some scrap plywood spacers to 
space the engine forward.  

 

49.  Place two #8 washers between the firewall and 

engine mount on both right side engine mounting 
bolts (facing the firewall) to give the engine right 
thrust.
