Hi gang,
I am about to install the engine mount (RV-6 O-360) and noticed that when placed in position with temporary 1/4" bolts thru the firewall that the center of the mount is approx. 1 1/2" off from the airframe center point.
Is this normal?
I would think the the center of the mount should align with the center of the airframe.
I purchased the entire QB package/engine/finish kit, etc. in 1998 from Van's so who knows what they were building back then. I thought that they would have drilled the firewall holes using the actual engine mount they sent me. Wrong again.
Thanks for any help.
