More questions about the plans. I am in the process of building myContinental motor mount. I just noticed that it calls for 7/16" holes forthe bolts that hold on the engine. It seems that when I visited Bert Conleylast month that he was complaining about his holes being 7/16" too. Aren'tthe bolts supposed to be 3/8"? Is there a shim or something that makes upthe difference? Or, should the bolt holes be 3/8"?Thanks,Ted________________________________________________________________________________

Ted,You need to use 3/8" bolts to hold the engine to the mounts. The rubbercones that come with the A-65 gasket set have 3/8" holes in them. TheLuscombe I have has 7/16" tubes on the motor mount and I need to figure outa way to sleeve them so as to use a 3/8" bolt.Chris Bobka-----Original Message-----
