The manual I recieved from Wm Wynn did not have the motor mount plans.Hmmm, have to write him about that. I used the Pietenpol plans for thecorvairand put in the thrust line Bernie used.Kirk you are correct in securing the center tubes. All the weight issupportedin the corner mounts.Carl----- Original Message -----

Kirk, I agree, I believe the tubing behind the engine really doesn't doanything.It does help line up the tubes on the jig when welding, but gives no supportas faras strength goes. A friend of mine, Bill Poiry, did his with square tubingfor hisfranklin 65 ( which is the same mount as our corvairs) and it looked realgood.I ended up making two and I left the extra tubing on the final one.The mainthing is make sure the welds are solid.Carlps On my firewall, I just used metal at the top and when it is secured tothe cowlingit becomes very strong and rigid.----- Original Message -----
