Default RE: CMP 160 sized Texan

GUAIO....... What I use for vibration dampening mounts can be found at ACE hardware...they are 1/4 -20 rubber bushings with a brass threaded insert ,,they work great, their about a 1/2 inch in diameter and are ready for a 1/4-20 bolt...on most firewalls the wood is thick enough that the bushing does not protrude out the back but on the t6 the fire wall is thinner so I use rubber o-rings the kind used in outdoor hoses also purchased at ACE...to shimm the excess lenght of the bushing and end with a large metal washer and bolt...I always bolt the engine on with the nuts on the inside of the firewall...but you can reverse this and have the threads and nuts on the outside....those bushings make a nice clean mount with vibrtation dampning and a solid engine mount.


I don't think their is a cockpit kit for this pland mine is just scratch built...
