Bolt for OS160FX

[rick wallace]

I'll be the dissenting voice  here - been using 4-40's to hold engines
on mounts for three years - including 140RX's and 160FX's . No problems.


Awhile back Eric pointed out a great use for Nyrod - use it as bushings
in the engine case to get a better fit / more repeatable location for
the bolt in the engine mounting lug. 

 

The strength of 2 (in the case of a Hyde ARIA) 4-40's compared to the
stresses imposed on them by our small motors seems quite sufficient.

I'd second that, 6-32. You can tap the mount beams up to that size.

I've used 6/32 on mine on my Hyde mount without issue.

Man my grammar is really bad tonight.  Too much snow out there.  Brain
must have frozen.

 

So I am getting ready to bolt the OS160FX to the engine mount.  I have
been using 4-40 to mount my engines; but something tells me I may need
something bigger for the OS160FX.
