Jack, Marci and I plan to be there and enjoy your hospitality. Thank you!Gene,I faced the same issue when I changed my Ford for the C-90. I really wantedto keep the nose as short as possible, so my answer was to make my engine asheavy as possible. I left on the old heavy starter, heavy generator andmounted the batt up on the engine mount and didn't worry about saving weight(obviously) on the cowling. I used Don Emch's mount jig and the CG ended upjust right. The nose is maybe an inch longer than my ford installation wasand I believe I had shoved the Ford forward three inches.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 05:29:26 -0700

Of course, every Piet is different, so this is by no means a definitive answer,but in order to keep the cabanes vertical, with an A-65, I think the motor mountwould likely need to be extended about 8".I have no idea what the relationship to your "cabanas" would be, though.Bill C.Gene wrote:> So, how long does my new mount need to be to keep my cabanas vertical?? > Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
