Default Engine mount shopping

I need a little help locating a suitable "hard" mount for a BME 50. I used a Dubro Soft mount that I had lying around and that isn't wotking out. I would prefer a mount with aluminum rails, but whatever you guys think is appropriate.

By the way, the plane is an AW 29% Edge, and I'm sure I'll need to use standoffs to get the correct spacing (as I did with the soft mount. Thanks.

Why not just make the spacers out of aircraft ply? How far do you need to place the engine from the firewall?

I'm not sure I follow? I'm using the mounting rails on the side of the engine. Using the mount that I have, I made standoffs 1.25 inches long to take up the space. What I need is a mount similar to the one I have but without the rubber bushings.

The Hanger 9 mount is just what you need.

1.25" is a little too much space to make up with a plywood sandwich mount. I agree that what you need is the Hangar 9 mount.
