There is also 4 aluminum engine mount bushings that you probably already have....if you are gonna do the work i always say might as well order all the hardware nice and fresh...YMMV....there was a S/B for soft isolators a long time ago... but as others have mentioned - make sure your blades are properly angled...carb balance....dynamic prop balance...gear box - maybe gear box....you can rent a puller and send that off for rebuild....

Rebuilding a Cowl Edge …CTCole
Got to be frustrating, but the cowling edge can be rebuilt. When completed the repair is as strong & invisible as the original. I cut one of the upper sides too much, had to build back about 1/8". The trick was to include fiberglass cloth on the inside, and clamp a flat form (with wax paper) on the outer, finish side, then trim back to the desired dimension. Some photos attached.

Rear handle on slider canopy …David Lewis setup
I made small left and right finger lifts out of 3/4" angle, as well as a small center lift out of 'H' shaped aluminum. Shaped how I like them. Works great for me.

Stein Air Shirts Lead the Way from Texas to Tennessee
A trip to Tennessee had been planned for last fall, but instead we executed a cat caper for a long time friend and flew two cats from New Mexico to a place more likely to find adopters. Limited vacation dictated the trip had to be rescheduled. Yes, the kitties did find new homes. Since...

Rear handle on slider canopy
I’m finishing my slider skirts and such and think I need an aft handhold to assist opening. I’ve seen rear handles on sliders mounted on the top bar to help lift the rear from the outside. I do not want to drill my canopy. What options have you all used to help lift the back of the slider? I’m...
