Subject: Pietenpol-List: Continental Engine Mount BoltsRegarding the bolt A65 bolt diameter, it was my understanding that the plans were in error and the bolt should be 3/8" instead of 7/16". I think I have in the archives stating that some have had problems because of this. I have some detailed drawings of the engine from Continental and it would appear that the bolt is 3/8". Please let me know if I am wrong because I have just finished building a steel motor mount jig and will start fitting the tubes in a couple ofdays. Buying the bolts will be my last step to make sure I have the right length.Craig Carter________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Continental Engine Mount BoltsI just re-checked the plans.... they say to "Ream for 7/16 dia. bolt". BUT.... my Continental Maintenance and overhaul manual calls for 3/8" diameterbolts. ALSO... I just went out to the shop and was looking at my A75 engine which is still bolted to a taylorcraft engine mount. It has 3/8" diameter bolts.I think the rubber cone bushings that you buy from parts houses would surely be the same no matter what airplane. I am going to purchase 3/8" bolts. And,I am making a note on my plans to change the bolt boss I.D. to 3/8". For the shank length I am adding the 1.5" plans dimension of the mount boss to the 1 and 19/32" dimension of the aluminum casting on the engine and another9/32" for the large washer on the nut end. (These #s come from my Continental maintenance and overhaul manual.) This totals........... 3.375" forshank length. So Chuck's shank length is correct.SUMMARY:bolt DIA = 3/8bolt shank length 3 and 3/8 inchWhile were on the subject... The bolts I am going to buy for the engine mount-to-firewall bracket should be 5/16" DIA and...1 and 7/16" shank length.Terry________________________________________________________________________________

The man who gave the model A carburettor talk at Brodhead, Terry Oberer, hasa prop like that in his closet at Byrnes Mill, MO, he said Howard Hendersonmade it. He, Grant McLaren and Howard Henderson are close friends. Terryshowed it to me when I was at his house a while back.Dennis Engelkenjohn----- Original Message -----
