gentlemen

i really need some help with the mounting of the motor.
Everyone seems to have a different way of doing it and from what i can tell, there is noone else near me with a similar plane; so i am by myself on this one.

My kit came with the 3 large plates to support the rear of the motor; i understand how that works.

For the front of the motor, it came with 2 sets of plastic (composite) rings. One of them is quite slim and is perfectly circular in shape. It is about 5mm wide. And for some reason came split in 2 pieces. The second part for the front is a star shaped piece quite a bit larger than the first one and again it is split in 2.

I am gathering that the smaller of the two mounts is a spacer ring. The second one bolts to the front of the motor and has 4 holes in the outer corners but these holes are large and don't look like they are meant to bolt to the nose ring in the plane. I think there are meant to be some rubber grommets that go in the holes and space it out from the front...

any help or ideas?

also, when it comes to pushrods, i bought the carbon rods and 2mm titanium rod ends from Central Hobbies along with all the MK ball bearing clevises etc etc.
But the titanium ends are so long that there is no room for any carbon rod!
