Default RE: Its Here!! Double Vision

When lining up the DA-50 you might hit the cowl with the cowl with the top engine lugs or "ears". You can cut off the lugs - these are the ones that take the stand-offs - and fashion a bracket to emulate the ears in a lower position.

An option that you might consider is replacing the top two crankcase bolts with 4-mm studs. The stand-offs can be used as replacement crankcase bolts. I filed two flats on the ends to allow tightening with a wrench. This method saved weight and looks a lot better than using a bracket.

It does mean that you put the engine retaining bolts in from the firewall, but that is not hard with the DV.

A couple of pictures to replace a thousand words :-)
