Good afternoon all,
A quick question for the brain trust - I emailed and called Van?s 3 days ago and haven?t heard back -
I have heard rumor of an engine mount with both the Taildragger and Nosedragger sockets for a -7A / -7. Anyone know if this exists? If so, what is the part number? I have searched my packing lists and ?the list? and Vans site to no avail.
Conversely, anyone know of a shop near Indianapolis that could correctly and safely modify this one by adding the correct sockets for a TD to the tricycle mount?
I am hanging and plumbing an engine so this is the time to make the switch, from what I can gather of the work required.
I figured that if I had both on the mount, someone could bolt the main gear receptacles back in and return it to nosedragger status in the future if desired, with minimal effort. Am I crazy?
