Im trying to decide which kind of bushing will work best for my corvairengine thats being mounted on the stock pietenpol motor mount. Ive readshock absorber rubber bushings to neoprene tie rod bushings. If any corvairflyers ( or friends of) could tell me what they used, that would give me agreat place to start.Thanks,Carl ( getting to hang the engine on N40044)Please visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl________________________________________________________________________________

Carl,Do you mean to say you are using wood bearers like the stock model APietenpol motor mount?One of the great pictures on your web-site shows steel tubing used asbearers.I have wondered if wood bearers could be used with the Corvair.Skip________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2002 09:57:22 -0500

No Skip, I'm using the steel mount that Bernie designed for the corvair. Idon't believe anyone has tried the wood mount for that.Welding up the mount was one of the more challenging tasks I've done on mypiet. The others were the controls and the gear.The gear is a whole other story. :)CarlPlease visit my website atwww.megsinet.net/skycarl-----Original Message-----
