It takes up too much room. My web site is set up for a high resolution screen. Are you trying to get to=20the cowling page from Team Grumman? I moved the link over there. What is the title of the second link down that doesn't come up? Catch me online and I'll lead you through whatever you need.

Yes, there are 3 parts to each mount.=A0 Front, back, but the inside part is NOT 'squishy'.=A0 It is an eccentric steel bushing / spacer.=A0 Need to find out more about this. We have no information on go / no-go requirements.=A0 Not part of the service manual or anything in the STC that I am aware of.=A0 Need to find out about=20this too. I have not found any information on checking or specifications for thrust angles.=A0 Need info. I have no problem with 0 / 0 on the thrust, but where is this approved?=A0 Not to be found in the STC we have. Spinner or nose bowl are not misaligned.=A0 No way to adjust this anyway. No extra washers were used.=A0 The present bolt lengths would not allow additional washers.=A0 Would also have to use longer bolts. Firewall hard points and the engine mount itself are fine. These mounts do not use pins for alignment.=A0 There are pin holes in the bushings.=A0 They may be talking about Dynafocal mounts.=A0 Yours are straight mounts.=A0 We need to get this clarified so we are all on the same page with this installation. Torque on the mounting bolts is not a factor.=A0 The internal spacer contacts the washer on both sides of the mount bushings. No, bolts are not bent. Sounds like we may be able to get some good information from the TG group on this.=A0 Tom
