Ordinarily engines do *not* come with mounts. If you're building a SPAD, dig around on the SPAD message boards for the details on the PTFE engine mounts and firewall. Someone is selling the pre-cut pieces cheap, but you can cut your own from a Wal-Mart kitchen cutting board (look for the word "poly" on the label). The stuff makes a great firewall - it's impervious to fuel and engine exhaust. Engine mounts made of the stuff are easily rigid enough for flight, but will flex a bit in a crash - maybe enough to minimize engine damage.

Well, I don't know if he's going to find a Wal Mart in Jordan (middle east).
A piece of hardwood or plywood approximately 10mm thick will work in place of the HDPE cutting board for an engine mount. Just use the dimensions in the BUHOR instructions.
