My name is Wayne Poole and I live in Denham Springs, Louisiana. My brotherand I have a GN-1 with a Continental 0-200 that is about 95% complete.We're planningto use a J-3 type cowling and I'm trying to find the nose bowl bracketsthat mount on the front of the engine. I'm told that the brackets from Wag-aeroand Univair are for a 65hp Continental and will not fit an 0-200. Does anyoneon the list know where I can locate them or if anyone has drawings of bracketsso I can fabricate some?Wayne Pooledxechkn(at)earthlink.netEarthLink Revolves Around You.________________________________________________________________________________

The plans and supplemental plans show 2 different full sized drawings forthe lower motor mount straps. Neither seems to fit the application well.It also appears to mount the inside straps you need to cut away a couple ofinches of the lower crosspiece on each end. Not real comfortable with that.Could others share how they dealt with this part of building?Thanks,JackJack Textor29 SW 58th DriveDes Moines, IA 50312www.textors.com________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: New to list

I'm new to the list and while I've been an A and P for 20+ years, I have never built my own plane nor am I a pilot (yet). Are there any builders in the Norfolk, Virginia area?Fr. Jim Lingenfelter________________________________________________________________________________

Lower motor mount strapsI'm using the motor mounts designed for the GN 1. I'll send you copies of my drawings if you want them. I felt the same way you do about having to cut the cross pieces. My mounts are completely outside the wood structure. Chuck ----- Original Message -----

Waiting for a flight, no plans in front of me so going from memory, but I'm pretty sure cutting a slot in the cross piece is just how you have to do it. That's how it is on ours, no issues. If I recall that's how most Piets are...Ryan Ryan Mueller-----Original Message-----
