Default I'm there as well

I'm at the same build point. I'm about to go pick up the engine hoist from the hangar. I mostly used the IO-360m1b FF kit for my TMX-IO360M with a few changes such as eyeball penetrations. Firewall is pretty much to the plans. I used Dan C's site for additional info on mounting some of the electrical stuff. We'll see how everything lines up shortly. I printed out the engine hanging tips from DR's front page link.

Keep us posted. Good luck!
