Cowl and Engine Mount

The Old engine case used for testing the rear aluminium mounting plate.
 The Aly Mounting plate is dimensionally a copy of the Limbach motors mounting plate.
Russell (Lucky man) Has the Limbach which we used while building the cowl plug.
The central white mount is for a Magneto. I am still debating if this is the way I should go.

Engine mount. Note the position for the rubbers.
 This was decided on to reduce the load on the rubbers and therefore their deformation. As they have a bigger footprint, a softer rubber can be used and so transfer less vibration to the fuselage.

Mounted on the Fuselage without firewall

I stuck a piece of pipe in the case to get the position for the cowl

The cowl screwed in place to check fit
