Motor mount help??
Posted: Fri May 19, 2017 11:34 am
Hello All,
I have a rag wing 170. I'm currently having the engine (c-145/o-330) rebuilt. I also decided now would be a good time to have the engine mount gone through at Aerospace Welding in Minneapolis. Anyway, they called today and asked if I could measure the distance from center to center of the upper engine mount holes on the airframe? The technician went to secure the mount to my box I fabricated for the shipment and it was over an inch off. So, he asked if I could measure the holes to see where the error lay. Problem is, I live in the DFW area and my airplane is currently in a hangar 6 hours away. Does anyone have any experience with differences between various models of C170 models in regard to the engines and mounts?
Thanks, Cory
