Razor,

Not so fast. Unless you really are into machining and pretty decent with millwork, you don't have to go that far out to make this work. The YS 45 that I had mounted on this thing at one time fit nicley. All you have to do do is replace the engine backplate studs with ones a 1/4" longer than the standard ones.

Simply remove the original backplate studs, allign the engine as desired (cowling cut for ~205 degrees CCW from the horizontal) and bolt from the backside of the engine mount through the backplate of the engine and then tighten. Make sure to use treadlocking compound or you will have studs back out.

I am really glad that it survived the journey. Enjoy!

If you have any questions give me a call or pm me.

Thanks.
