Default Mounting the new DA 85, Help please !!

Just wondering how any of you DA 85 owners have mounted the new DA 85 to your firewall ??

DA says must be solid mounted (custom mount required, right ?? ) per manual.

NO STAND-OFFS !! I am building a AW 75cc QB and have the DA 85 coming and just
need a little help in this area. I really can't understand why 1" standoffs won't work with large washers on each side of firewall to spread the thrust.

What if small thrust changes are required by an additional degree or two when trimming the plane out with a Solid Mount (No washers can be used like with stand-offs) ???

Stand-offs are used on alot of big gas engines I thought.

PICTURES are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any help !!!!
