engine mount

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Sat Feb 18, 2012 12:04 am

Sounds like you did what you should. I must be thinking of someone else that
had their firewall loosening off etc that was also flying an O-360 on
straight floats out there in BC.

I've never checked to see whether the tubes are flexing, the rubbers or what
have you on mine. It's always been this way from the day I installed the
original O-235 to today with the O-320. 8 years later and it hasn't fallen
off or got any worse! Mine is a Conical mount! Is yours Conical or
Dynafocal??

Hi Wayne I believe I called you about 4 1/2 years ago about firewall. I
did
beef up firewall with doublers or should I say stiffeners back to back on
top of firewall and doublers on mounts riveted too witches hat,doublers on
floor .Also put in float bars from overhead cage to firewall stiffeners. I
built my Rebel with .032 corner wraps from firewall back to baggage
dept..The only problem I have had is rivets in door hinge on cage smoking
,I
have went up one size larger and longer and seems to be working fine.
About
motor mount when I mention the movement to the two AME I know they say it
should not move or flex like that so I always have that question in the
back
of my mind that there is something wrong.A friend of mine with a Rebel
with
a conical mount 0-320 engine does not move. THANKS jerry

Ditto! I can move my motor up and down and at the spinner center I see
about
5/8 movement. If it didn't move, something would break! (I could move
the
O-470 on my C182 around a lot more than that!!)

Jerry, wasn't it you that called me close to a year back about your
firewall
moving around? and I suggested that you had too much "umph" on the nose
of
that Rebel? Especially considering it didn't sound like you had any
reinforcement plates on the firewall. MAM's Elite style or "others" that
are
available.

Cheers,
Wayne

Jerry
Just out of curiosity do you know of any mounts that don't flex?
Where exactly is your mount flexing, and under what conditions is it
flexing.

Jerry, if you want to cut it down some you can buy harder aerobatic lord
mount rubbers. But take your bank manager with you! :o))

mind on movement,have about 400 hrs now and keep on checking for cracks in
mount.THANKS FOR YOUR TIME REALLY APPRECIATE: jerry

engine mount

Post by schaumr » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:34 pm

Hi All,

I am getting ready to have an engine mount built for my 6-cyl Corvair engine.
It'll produce about 120hp, and weigh a bit less than an O-200 installed.
Virtually all Corvair mounts are bed mounts, and I've decided to have William
Wynne (of flycorvair.com) weld it up for me. He has welded Corvair mounts
for a number of othe aircraft, and I am looking for reference materials to
provide to him: schematics (if possible), thrust lines, distances from firewall
for CG, etc...

I am hoping someone has a schematic of a Rebel with an O-235 engine install
(or even an O-320) to get a sense of the required dimensions.

Can anyone tell me if these documents exist?

Thanks in advance,
Rob

Engine mount

Post by Jim Parr » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:51 pm

We have a kit that came with the dynafocol mount. But we came across an 0290 zero timed cheap that takes a straight mount. Anyone out there give me some measurements for making a straight mount? distance from firewall, angles, anything would help.
Thanks,
Jim
