Bob, I dont know how much room you have but how about a couple of long t-beams on either side of your current mount that extend to catch the nose ring? Maybe some fabricated aluminum brackets out of 16 ga would be adequate.


Ive always ran a nose ring, just wondered without it why you feel its necessary now?

I was interest to see Sean McMurty runs the YS w/ Yamada mount. He described it as providing more stability for the rear of the engine. Interesting that that would be discernable in flight. I tend to think you fly around all these errors in the airframe with practice, but without that it may reduce pilot workload.
