Sent from an IPad
I removed the engine from my XP, 912- bed mount, and noticed that the
bolts that attach the engine brackets length wise in the front to the
cross piece bracket were hitting the lower bed mount bracket.
The bolt size were as directed in the build manual, but there is not
enough room for a lock nut (even a shallow nut) with minimum thread
showing. I ended up installing the bolts in the up position.
Certainly not ideal. My motor mounts are relatively new, only 100
hrs.
I thought I would mention it to others as it is very difficult to see
with the engine installed.

Dennis,
I recently had my engine out for the first time in 12 years, and noticed that the
bolt heads had at times contacted the front bed mount too. For the same reason
as you the bolts are upright, and I had checked at the first installation
that there was some clearance. I think over time the rubber mounts soften and
allow more movement. I fitted new rubber engine mounts and included a washer under
each to raise the engine a smidgen to give more clearance.
