I have no experience with gas engine installation..My AT-6 kit made no provisions for 3 degree right and 3 degree down on the engine. The firewall installation was designed to be at 0 degrees and left up to the builder to mount the engine with the proper thrush.. I am using stand-offs..if I place washers between the firewall and the stand-off I can get either the down thrush or the right thrush. But to do both at the same time seems to put the motor backplate in a bind when tighting the engine bolts down...I don't want to break off one of the ears on the motor...Please tell a novice to gas the best way to get the 3 degrees both to the right and down at the same time..thanks ...my engine is a 26cc size
You could use trigonometry to calculate the spacers needed. Use the horizontal mount bolt distance for calculating side thrust, the vertical distance for downthrust.
