Re: Engine mounts for other F24 engines

Post by norbymac20@sbcglobal.net »

'Chief My airplane is located at Coal City, Illiinois, in my 2 car
garage. The engine mount was made in California. My favorite airport is
IKK, Kankakee, Illinois which is about 50 miles south of Chicago.
I will look you up, at Sun-N-Fun.

There's a lad on the list with a Continental or Jake on the nose of his
F-24 and
I've forgotten his name. Might be another Russell. My question is for him
or anyone
else that may know. When installing a larger radial than the stock Warner
165, I
guess one has to consider the extra weight and extra power and how it may
affect
the front of the fuselage. Does anyone know if the fuselage of the 24 gets
beefed up
with this type of conversion? Thanks.

'Cy's on the right track, Bill. I got one made up by a truck automotive supply / service
house locally for a Lycoming a couple of years back. They are familiar with the 90 degree
drive fittings too and sometimes supply that part for about $20 rather than close to $80
elsewhere. Same part number too.

'Giday, Steve. In fact, the Housai will not fit under the Warner cowl. It is 1.5" too big in diameter.
I'd likely do one out of glass or cough up the bucks and buy a new one from Dan Horton.
