| Subject: | O-200 Mount (replacing C-85) |
When I converted my Cessna 140 from a C-85 to an O-200 it required a new
engine mount. As I recall, the mounting lugs on the engine are in the same
place for both engines, but the O-200 uses Lord Mounts which are much larger
(about 2" in diameter, and about 10 times as expensive), while the C-85 uses
the small conical bushings like an A65 uses.
I think you will have to make a new mount. I don't know much about GN-1's -
I've never seen the plans for one, but if it used a Cub mount originally,
there may be aftermarket mounts available to convert a J-3 to an O-200 that
would drop right in. Check with Univair (very pricey) or with Steve Krog
and the Cub Club.

Subject: Pietenpol-List: O-200 Mount (replacing C-85)
Greetings,
I am part of a builders group called Scounge Dawg Aviation in the Metro East
area of St. Louis (splinter group of EAA 64). We are in the process of
rebuilding Art Holiman's GN-1 (N396S) that he crashed in 1997 I believe.
Some of you may remember that one, as I know Art had it up to Brodhead in
the 90's. One of our guys, Brian Kissinger, wrote a short article about our
group for the BPA newsletter a couple of issues back.
Anyway, Art had a C-85 engine on the plane. We do not have that engine or
the mount (I understand he used a Cub mount). We do
have an O-200 that we are going to use. We hope to use the same holes on
the firewall (18 3/4" W X 18 5/16 H), but are looking for recommendations
from anyone who has made this (or similar) conversion. If there is no
existing mount that we can bolt on, we are prepared to fabricate one
ourselves or have someone else do it if necessary.
In searching the archives, I saw where Jack Phillips made this conversion on
his C-140. Jack, if you have any recommendations, we'd love to hear about
your experience. Or anyone else who can help us out. Appreciate any
feedback we can get.
Thanks.

By the way, I am building my own Pietenpol. I bought Bill See's project
last fall and recently bought Ryan Mueller's A-65
that he was selling a few weeks ago. I'm currently flying a Quicksilver
Sport 2S out of Litchfield, IL, home of Perry Rhoads' (formerly Vi Kapler's)
Piet. So I'm sure I'll be on here a lot if the future with my questions.

Jerry,
I think you're on to something. If oil got in between the magnets, I
bet some gunk got in the needle "bearing" area, too. That probably
needs to be cleaned out.
Ok, now Im not as worried as I was.
Thanks again, everyone.

Consider moving the top of the rear seatback back a couple inches, unless
you like sitting at attention...wish I had.
