Status: offline 		I am building a 20 size plane and due to distance restrictions from the firewall to the cowl opening for the prop, I cannot use any commercially available mount for my Saito 30. My clearance need between the carb assembly and the firewall is too small to fit a backplate of a mount between them.

Based on my diagram below for one side of the mount, will this be sufficient to hold to motor to the plane and give it the strength needed without extraordinary weight gain?

This is just one side of the mount. The other would be a mirror image.



Thanks,

BTW, your views are not lined-up.
