Bert,Interesting.Looking at the parts catalog, the taylorcraft uses AN6-34 for motor to mountand AN5-31 for mount to fuselage. I remember working on a friend's luscombeabout 15 years ago and there was no way the 7/16" were going to work so wesleeved the 3/8 with some brass figuring the box the plane came in wasmissing a few parts OR that old rubbers from Continental might have comewith a 7/16" hole unlike the ones you get today.I just looked in the Luscombe catalog and it calls for AN7-37 for the motorto mount so the tcraft and luscombe are different yet both use the samerubbers....I would still use the 3/8". Some early luscombes actually used5/16" for the mount to fuselage bolts and there are only three mountingpoints for the luscombe so it is not a strength issue....Chris-----Original Message-----
