Icepoint Mount Mod

[William C. Harden]

Bill,
 
I have the same question.  I bought the Hyde mount with the integral
nose ring for my Focus II.  I have not seen the Jerry Budd mount and was
wondering if he also makes a similar mount with an integral nose ring.
>From your e-mail below it sounds like there isn't one available from
Jerry Budd.

Bob:  
I see the problem with the Icepoint.  Can sure be frustrating.  I've
also been wondering:  
I just got a new Jerry Budd engine mount.  Excellent job, well thought
out.  Jerry, however, calls for a nose ring with the mount.  How are the
guys handling a nose ring with a removable cowling, like the Focus?
Seems to me as if the cowl would tear loose from the fuselage if
subjected to the stress/vibration of a nose ring.   I've had perfect
satisfaction from a Dave Brown solid mount, (cost the princely sum of
$6) on my focus 1, but I've still been thinking of retrofitting my Focus
2 before it's first flight.
How would you handle it?

the tale of tribulation on how much fun it is to retrofit a flat
firewall that is spaced way farther than it should be....
