It worked out swell, but I forgot one board thinkness when I made the jig, so I'll be doing a little more trimming.Have you drilled the engine mount holes yet? And what kind of fit did you get? I tried to do mine my precision machine-shop way(amateur), and now must rework them. The guys in the hangar say I should have clamped the fittings in well, then drill through the metal, wood, and the metal on the other side. I guess that I would do it this way, now, if I could.________________________________________________________________________________
