Default RE: Engine Stand Offs
I have been using red oak 1" dowels to mount a ZDZ80RV engine on my Super Decathlon. After over 40 flights there have been no problems. I did epoxy steel washers to the front of the dowels after I cut the correct angle on the dowels for the offset that I needed. 3/4" diameter should be plenty for the 3.2.
