[Fletcher, Richard]

Hi Richard, 
 
    Would you let me know where you bought the Lord mounts?
 
 
 
Thanks, Rich

I'm currently running ho'made Hyde mounts.  I used to run (4) Lord mounts on
an oversized back-plate and no nose ring on my 60 sized stuff--and liked
them very much. Very clean.  Does anyone still make them for the bigger
stuff?  I haven't looked into it lately.  Didn't Sullivan buy the rights?
CRS disease.  In a couple of cases when we first got in to soft mounting, I
was able to do a straight addition of Lord mounts to the back of my regular,
hard mount and re-drill and tap new engine mount holes further back in the
mount.  Worked fine if you had the engine originally mounted on the front of
the mount.  I think some guys used (3) Lord mounts with a nose ring and (4)
without.  The nice thing about those is there isn't ever a direct connection
to the airframe. Man, I DO need to look in to these again!

Vincente, 
 
    Which Hyde mount should I use, and do you know where I can order a
Mueller header? At this point I am inclined to go with a OS 160 because I
can buy the engine, pipe, header and half the mount for the same money as an
OS 140. I think the weight penalty will be 4 - 6 oz but with the power
loading I don't think it will matter al that much. What do you think?
 
 
 
Thanks, Rich

Yes, in the pattern community Hyde mounts could be considered the best
option.  My personal recommendation is: do NOT hard mount the engine.  There
are other options there, but the Hyde mount could be the best option for
your particular situation.  Note: I am not sponsored by Mr. Hyde.

Guys, 

Please let me know how you are mounting this engine. I assume most are using
Hyde mounts, please let me know which one. Is anyone hard mounting the
engine? Anyone using any home made mounts?



Thanks, Rich
