Hi,

I'm in the process of remounting my motor, a BME 116.
It was on 4 x 2" aluminum leg type standoffs and I am remounting it to a 4" square of 2" thick end grain balsa.

While my plan is to go to lighter bolts, I intend to through bolt it first with 1/4-20s. While these are heavy, the plan is they are strong enough to stop the motor falling off should the balsa block compress more than antisipated.

Once its been established that the mount wont compress, I am thinking of going to a smaller gauge titanium bolt, and there in lies the problem.

I want to use 6-32, but cant find any that are 3" long. Any ideas?

An idea that has been suggested is to use the H9 4-40 titanium servo pushrods. Seriously light, but geesh, they look kind a spindly :-)

So, any ideas on the 6-32?

Many thanks,

Branwell
