...it miight make sense to make a mounting plate that's a custom length to match your specific airframe so you don't need to mess with spacers too.
Thanks for the offer Dave but my Plan is to make a simple "ring mount" with holes matching the firewall mount my ST 23cc has. This way I can use the "testbed" aircraft Im building to test them both... Once tested I might make a more "formal" mount.
