Default RV-6 Motor Mount

I am looking at purchasing an RV-6, partially completed, that has a Dyna-Focal mm. I have an engine with conicals, so I am in need of a conical mount.
I have contacted Van's, and got a VERY indifferent response, basically that they were'nt interested in supporting the project.

So, does any one know where I can lay hands on a conical mount, for the -6?

Another option...

You most likely can have your conical mount case machined to a dynofocal...

That isn't an option, for me. I'd prefer changing the mount.

As I recall, Vans used to sell a conical mount for the RV-6. Did they quit making it?
