Upon looking at the plans in Section 47, it appears that the regular IO-390 has a single bracket for hanging the engine. On the thunderbolt there are two brackets to hang the engine. OK--at least on the engine I have there are two brackets for hanging the engine.
With this in mind, am I supposed to remove the brackets and store them somewhere if I need to take the engine off at some point? The both brackets are in the way of putting on the aft center bracket (CB-00016) and fwd center bracket (CB-0004). So currently, I have no way to solve this problem without taking these pieces off the engine. I assume that is what I am supposed to do.
How are others dealing with this problem or am I unique?
I posted a video on my facebook page describing the situation.
