Sorry, guys.  I'm not getting this at all.


You recommend putting a cable to a light sheet-metal firewall?  What will that
do?

Or through the firewall to the airframe?  Do you expect the cable to be stronger
than the bolts that bolt the engine mount to the airframe?

Or is the whole purpose of this cable to be a backup in case the rubber engine
mounts tear apart?  This seems more likely, but isn't the mount designed to not
completely separate if the rubber is torn out?


I'm not trying to be a wise-guy here, just trying to understand the logic.
