RV-10 Engine Mount

[N62XS]

Does anyone know if if the RV-10 engine mounts are available in conical, Dynafocal 1 and Dynafocal 2?

Van's is are only delivering one model of engine mount and I believe it's a dynafocal 1 and is for the engines with the small hole mount ears. On the 540 engines the mount ears bolt on and can be changed. The mount ears needed for teh RV-10 mount are Lycoming #70456.

Does Vans make/sell the 4 mount ears? They are hard and expensive to come by

No they do not. If you buy the engine through them, it has the right mount ears. I'd guess that making mounting ears for lycoming engines would have all sorts of patent and liability issues that Van's would not want to get into if not needed.

Check ebay often. That’s where I secured a set cheap.
