I am working on a HRII that was partially built by another person. I am ready to hang the engine on the fuselage. I have the Harmon engine mount and a Lycoming IO-540 C4B5 that was overhauled by a reputable shop. But like the Johhny Cash song about the ....49,50,51 Automobile.... when I went to hang it and put the bolts in, the holes were not there. It seems the motor mount angles and spacing do not match the mounting ears on my engine. I have discovered there is a Dynafocal 1 and 2, and the mounting holes in the engine ears come large and small. The mounting ears on my engine are Lycoming 70456, and it seems that all the RV-10 builders want them. But I want to be sure I end up with mounting ears that work for me in exchange. Question for the group: What part number Lycoming ears fit the Harmon engine mount? Are you using the larger or smaller diameter Lord mounts? I heard the small diameter were the aerobatic and stiffer mounts, but that may be wrong. Thanks in advance for your advice.

Start calling around to aircraft salvage yards. Ask for the large size holes, the same mounting ears that are used on a Piper Aztec. The engine is a C4B5. They will know which ones. I paid $90US each for the last ones that I purchased from Bobby's planes and parts in Texas.
