Default Motor mounts for cessna 421

I see that your motor mounts are all in stock i just need to know which one to order. In your accessories page you have a cmp (large,medium,small) mount just wondering which one the cessna 421 comes with so i can order it.

The medium should do the trick and you could cut it down if too long.

The small will also probably work, but it depends upon the engine you are using.

FYI: You could have also used mounts from other manufacturers, such as a Dubro mount.

thats just the problem every other mount i looked at was too short it would need to be a minimum of 3.5 inches so the medium is the one i need then right. I definetley dont mind cutting it down just dont want to get one thats too short.

A .46 size motor mount normally is about 3 1/8" long or so.

A "large" .60 to 1.20 motor mount is about 4 1/2" long.

The beams are only marginally bigger.

You may want to opt for the LARGE and cut down any excess instead.

There are some numbers writen on the side of the mount "0117 2" does this help any? just want to make sure I get the right mount i'm afraid if i go with a bigger one the mounting holes will go above the firewall its a pretty tight fit as is.

Unfortunately I do not have that mount, so I am going by mounts made by other manufacturers.

Check out this one, where the exact dimensions are given...
