I have a Sherline Lathe and make my own. if the engine needs any thrust adjustments they can be machined into the standoffs and it's kinda fun making your own parts.

That can be done but offset standoofs place an unequal loading on engine mounting tabs, frequently breaking them off over time. better to build that offset into the firwall and use equal lenght standoffs.
