Yes the beams we a little tight....and the rear holes for the mount spacers were a little close together, I was able to use a dremel on the beams and just took a little bit off the inside edge to allow the engine to rotate, and the adjustability on the rear spacers was OK. It would have been better to move the blind nuts in the beams for the spacers, but it worked the way it was built. The only chnage I made was to grind a little off the beams on each side.

The other thing is the 170 has a little beefier case too even though the mounting lug holes are the same, the case is a little wider. Its not a major operation just a little fine tuning....I sealed the wood beams with some thin CA glue after I removed the material. It just needs a little angle on the top corner and it will clear everything.
