I have a set of the 60 mm standoffs that you can have.
I have two Syssa engines that I won't put on any aircraft. One of them needs new bearings. I switched out the Syssas and put in DLE 35s.

PNWSP - Well said.

I finished the covering on the plane, so it is time to run the engine to see if it has lost anything during its two year nap.
