I found that I had to rotate them every 100 hours. In 1996 I ordered a new set from SH and they sent me a set of the larger in diameter ones. These new mounts work better. But note: Thick shim washers between the engine and the mounts have to be used. The washers will push the engine further foward close to 3/16 of an inch. -----Original Message----- From: MPPalmer@aol.com Subject: Glasair-List: Lord Mounts Con't --> Glasair-List message posted by: MPPalmer@aol.com The Glasair I manual calls out J-6230-1's.

It's funny, because the individual part numbers don't tell you what the assembly's part number is. My biscuits are stamped "J-4701-8," which, the Lord guy tells me, implies the assembly is a J-4702-16. (If the spacer were rubber coated, that would have made it a J-4702-24.) This is a relatively soft mount, with a rating of merit at 900 psi. The equivalent Barry mount for the -16 Lord is BRY 94150-01. By contrast, the Spruce "Homebuilders special" (p/n 08-03500) I have installed now, are supposed to be the equivalent of Lord J-7402-5. The -5 is a stiffer mount, with a merit rating of 1500 psi. Barry does not make a mount compatible with the -5. I don't mind the ride with the -5's. Sometime a little vibration comes thru, but I like having the engine not rock around so much nor sag so fast. If I could, I'd like to find something in the middle. Barry says they have a 94150-02 out in the field, but it's not an FAA-PMA'd part. If anyone knows where I can buy some, please let me know. To clear up something incorrect I said before, I have Dynafocal I type mounts. The type I are the "early" attempt at Dynafocal, and have a 2" diameter bucket for the biscuits. That turned out to be a little too little. Later attempts at Dynafocal use a 3 inch diameter, which allows much more surface area to spread the load. This is what the RV series aircraft use. They don't take as much of a set as quickly as the earlier style mount.
