Jetcat mount offset

Hey guys I am putting a jetlegend F15 together at the moment and putting an amt pegasus into it. The peggy mounts are on the centerline of the engine trouble is the engine is much lower than the center of the pipe. I suspect it was a jetcat in here originally and with the offset mount it probably lined up. What thickness spacer corrects that centerline. I know I can eyeball it but the bifurcated pipe makes that tough so thought I'd see if i could get a quick answer here first.
thanks.

6mm if you are younger!

1/4" is what I put in and that worked great. 6mm is ok but even as a born and raised canadian at the tender age of 41 I don't use metric lol.
thanks Dave.

I have a 5 at the beginning of my age, but I speak both :-)
The wood suppliers here are confused, some sell 1/4” ply that is 6mm, I miss that 0.3 sometimes!

When I started my Machining apprenticeship 21 years ago it was rare that we made anything using metric, in fact I was 5 years into the trade before I bought my first metric measuring tool and that is only because it was digital and could switch between metric and standard. For the very very odd job that came in that was metric I just did the math and converted. Funny thing is I do think using metric is simpler in some area's like if I want to find center on something, but I'm so programmed to standard.... however, I guess I drive in km/h and tell temperature in Celcius lol
