RV-6 Engine Mount repair help needed

[BloomerJohn]

My 1992 RV6 had a hard landing on left gear and it caused the left gear socket to break from the engine mount. 3 other smaller tubes will also need repair due to cracks at the joints showing. Vans tells me a new mount will likely not fit as the jigs have changed since this one was built.

Looks like I need to send it out to be repaired with the gear legs included so they can insure proper original alignment. I can ship anywhere in USA. Have pics of damage to sent to shops if they want to see it.

Where should I sent it?

I highly recommend http://www.onaircraft.com/

They have a full time person that fabricates motor mounts for their turbine conversions. They recently welded gussets on my RV6 motor mount and they did a very nice job. Very responsive and friendly employees as well.
