that's a good thing. Thanks, Lance!</FONT></DIV>

Dimension - Hyde "Type C"</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>These type C's are really new (the Mk III's
anyway). I would assume Merle's dimensions have not really
changed. Here's some info I got from Merle directly that others may find
interesting. I sure did:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Hi Lance,<BR><BR>I don't have any pictures. The new "C" MKIII mount
(isolator) looks the same as the earlier ones. Now I am using
rectangular 1/4" x 1/2" aluminum beams oriented/attached flat on the
mount. This makes the mount now usable with 18 pattern engines,
including the OS160 which is a wide crankcase engine.<BR><BR>Each beam has 6
drilled and tapped 6-32 holes - permitting a wide application range.
Beams positioned flat are even stronger. Overall length from firewall to
thrust washer is 6 3/8" for all YS, 3M, WEB, OS140, OS160, and OS120-200 4
strokes. Use of different beam bolt patterns even permits 6 1/4" FW to
TW for many engines!!<BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
