I have a question about marking the bolt holes for the Da 50 engine stand offs. I have the 3/4" spacer made but how do transfer the holes from the standoffs to the spacers and then to the firewall all keeping the cowl alligned.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas!
This is the one thing I like least about the DA 50. Since there are no holes to line up on how do you figure out where to drill?
What I did last time, after I had the engine location set and the engine sitting on the firewall, I drew very carefully around the standoffs with a sharp pencil so I had 4 large circles drawn. Then I removed the engine and set down one of the large washers that come in the goodie bag and use that to mark the center of each circle.
Another way is to make a template out of plexiglass. This way you can look through it from the back and mark the hole locations.
Good luck.
