Help with Pipe mount

Thanks John.
Come to think of it, I saw a setup on a picture of Bryan Hebert's Patriot that was reall clever. He had a sheet-metal clamp of the sort that leaves a tab sticking out the side of the header bolted to the rubber bar that comes with  Dave Brown or MK soft mount. The other end of the rubber bar was attached to a solid pedestal, and the bar was in tension so as to hold the header from sliding back. Bryan, you have a picture showing this? Otherwise, I'll draw up a PDF for distribution.
Regards to All,
	Dean

Hello Mike,
I don't know what is actually necessary, but here's what I have done for
both the O.S. and Mintor headers.I need to send a digital photo from home to
your address. Does anyone know if this list accepts inserted or attached
jpegs?
I support the far end of the header with a pedestal made from 1/2" diameter
cylindrical rubber (Lord) mount, and a plastic Dave Brown pipe clamp. For
height, I use a portion of the nylon standoff that comes in the pipe to
wingbolt mounting kit. The ty-wrap or hose clamp goes around the front of
the rubber coupler to the pipe, so it does double duty, and helps keep the
header from pulling off of the engine. A picture of this should show up in
the May M.A.
Regards,
Dean P.

Howdy All,
I am coming down the home stretch on my Focus version 1.  I got the
engine box cut down and rebuilt for my engine mount/engine.  It used to
have a DB hard mount and now has a Hyde A mount.  The motor is a Mintor
1.70 with a Mintor 60 degree header/Mintor carbon pipe.  It all fits
beautiful in the plane.  I am getting ready to put my pipe mounts in.
The question is should I put a support for the header as well as the
pipe?  The header is the "O" ring type mount to the engine, silicon
pipe/header connector.  Any help would be much appreciated.
