RE: ryobi mount?
I just used 1/8" thick aluminum strap that is 1 1/2" wide. I just bent it up in my vice, and it works very well. You can sort of tell in this photo what I did.Ijust ran maybe a 1/4" out past the muffler so as not to make the engine any longer than I had to. A real simple mount to make, but you still need to use a shim on the carb to get full range of throttle motion and also allow room to get the mountingstrap back behind that carb on the upper right mounting hole.
