OK working on the engine mount. Theres no doubt that my mount is a little bit thinner than the old Hyde mounts about 3/16-1/4" thinner.

Heres how Im doing this.

1. Cut a wooden ring the same exact size as the nose diameter and as thick as you want the spinner be spaced from the nose.

While the ring is still on the bench, tack the spinner backplate to the wooden ring dead centered.

Tack the ring to the front of the nose with CA so that it fits perfectly centered over the nose.

I do have one problem. If the 160 DZ is the same dimensionally as the 140 sport then I am going to have to shim up behind the mount to get it to fit corectly. Crap. I am going to go and look for some dimensions on the 160 and see how it matches up with the 1.40. If they are identical I am going to proceed. If not Im going to wait until the 160 gets here just to be certain. we will see......
