| Subject: | Motor Mount Paint |
Hi all,
Long time. I just got my 912 motor mount back from powder coating.
Did you guys who painted / coated your motor mounts, remove the coating
between the engine and mount? Or did you just torque down over the paint
/ coating? I will be removing it between the mount and frame, that's
easy. It's harder between the mount and the engine.
Thanks,
Guy Buchanan

Guy, why would you remove any paint? It's there after all to protect the metal
from rusting.

Hello Guy
Not sure why you would want to remove the powder coat from between the mount and
the engine as this is where the rubber donuts (Vibration dampening) go. Normally
the powder coating is left in place and engine to frame electrical bonding
is done via a very flexible heavy gauge cable from the engine directly to a
good ground point on the frame and to your electrical ground bus somewhere near
your instrument panel..
Hope this helps

Guy,
Do you have the original style mounts for the IV. If so, I would remove
the powder coating at the the cap screws that screw into the engine. I
would think that vibration and the compressive forces might crush the
powder coat and affect torque over time. Then again retorquing every
annual would take care of that possibility.

Lowell you are correct about the cap screws as this is a metal to metal
contact. Since you finished you project we haven=99t heard to
much from you. How is the machine performing? I=99ve been
travelling and doing part time contracting so work on my machine is
currently stalled and I just can=99t seem to find the time to get
back building. Probably a good kick in the butt would be appropriate at
this time to get me in gear and finish the model IV. I=99ve had
the engine running and prop adjusted and that all works fine.
Regards =94 Ted

Well that's the question. I'm not worried about bonding, I handle that
separately, but if I don't have metal/metal contact will I loose torque
over time? Or worse yet, will I just crack up the powder coat so it
flakes off?
