Engine mount bushings

[Wes Helm Bearhawk 1209]

Has anyone got a engine mount from Mark for a o-360 that could give me a measurement from the center of the bottom bolts to center of the top center mount ? Plans only show the 4 bushings thanks Wes

Wes, I'd be happy to do that, if you can clarify for me: Vertical or diagonal distance? What exactly do you mean by"center of the top center mount"...

I think question might be about 4 place BH Jim. Mark

Good point, Mark!
In the immortal words of Roseann Rosanadana, "Never mind..."
(However, I still think if Wes wants an answer, he's going to need to clarify the question...)

[whee]

I don't have Mark's mount but I have two points/questions.

Doesn't the O360 mount not use the 5th (top center) mount? So you'd need the dimensions from someone with an O540 mount.

Second, I don't think you could get close enough with just the dimensions. If you are going to use one of Mark's mounts then you should just buy it now and install the firewall bushings to match the mount.

Yes this is for the 4 place. The picture of the lyc.0-360 mount shows 5 attach points . I am assuming the attach points would all be the same , so you could upgrade to a 0-540 later if need be. I'm leaning towards the 0-360 but want to keep my options open

I have Avipro 360 engine mount. The legs flex some so measurement from the center of the bottom bolts to center of the top center mount can be suspect when not attached. The Avipro mount fits my airframe and I measured from the center of the bottom bolt on airframe to center of the top center mount on airframe and came up with 28 1/16th inch.

Thanks Dan that's what I needed
