Warner 145 Cowling isolators

'I purchased my Fairchild after the cowling had come loose in flight
resulting in a forced landing. It's time to get it mounted back up but
I don't want the same thing to happen again. To keep things interesting
I am running a Curtiss Reed that fits close and a sheilded ignition
that adds another inch or so to the forward leaving very little room
for error. I understand that the aluminum rear stops should be changed
to a steel fabricated one and the proper isolator strip used on the
cowling mounts. I unfortuately have no idea what those should look
like. I saw a reference to a drawing a few posts ago but my old manual
has been copied so many times that there isn't much detail showing.
Does anyone have a picture or a simple drawing of what those isolators
should look like? Also any info or tips on keeping the cowling in place
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark'

'I'll be at the hangar tomorrow....will photograph my 145 cowling and e-mail
the results.
Tom Downey has a nice spun aluminum dishpan for a 145.
I'm looking for a dishpan for a 165.

'I assume that you are talking about a Warner motor? Be sure you allow plenty of slop between the cowl and the mounts. The motor grows guite a bit as it warms up. If it is too tight, the cowl will start cracking. As I'm sure you already know, the cowl tends to move forward in flight, and rear stops should be in good condition.

'Richard,
Did you get a chance to get me some pictures of the 145 warner
cowling mount standoffs in your 24? What I need to know is if there
is a source for the rubber (?) isolators between the engine mounted
framework and the aluminum cowling. Are you using aluminum front and
back stops or have you fabricated some 4130 pieces? Any help on this
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

'Mark..
I have photographs of the cowling...tried to send them to you but they
bounced back. I will try to get photos of the engine mount...that's what you
really need...will be at the hangar next week.
I have your e-mail as
_lancasterm@disco.com_ (mailto:
lancasterm@disco.com)
Is that correct?
Cheers,
Richard Hawley

Lancasterm@lisco.com or my yahoo at

I have been doing my research on this but there just isn't much out
there on the actual mounting pads. Warner books are of no help and
the airframe books don't cover it either. I am fortunate enough to
live a short distance from the Antique Airfield AAA/APM in Blakesburg
Iowa and their extensive tech library but there aren't any 24s out
there. They thought the origional was a mohair over rubber piece but
suggested orange baffeling material as a more resiliant alternative?
