| Subject: | Tailpipe attachments |
AMD uses a pair of clamps to attach the tailpipe to the engine mount right
at the cowling. One clamp goes on the tailpipe itself, and the other on the
engine mount tubing. Both of mine on the engine mount (both sides) broke on
the way home; we discovered this when we had the cowling off to change the
oil. One clamp had departed the aircraft, and the other was held on on one
side only and flopping loose.
Garry at AMD said that was there to provide some extra support for the
tailpipe. My mechanic said that he didn't see why it was there, and he
recommended just leaving it off; Garry agreed that that would work fine.
Comments? What's everyone else doing?

Looks nice Gig, Did you rebuild it yourself? Did you make or buy the engine mount?
