The Corvair would use a bearer style mount, wouldn't it?



Not on this plane. I'll get pics of the mount design on line soon.
I've put mounting tabs on the top and bottom rear so I'm mounting it
like a Conti O200, but using 1" diameter Licoming type homebuilder
mounts.The typical bed mount would interfere with my 180 degree header
system.



How will the mount attach to the engine case?
I don't recall how the aft end of the engine is arranged.



I'll get pictures, but I used a chunk of auminum channel, cut away to
make a "U" shaped bracket that bolts to the top surface of the engine
case, with "ears" to which mounting blocks are fastened, immitating
the top ears of an O200 case. The bottom has an angle boted down each
side, like the typical bed mount but without rubber isolation, with
mount blocks fastened to them as well,.

Very similar to the way it is mounted on my engine test stand,
pictured on my website.
