Who knows how to measure the angle of the mounts on a dynafocal mount?

There are two types as you know.

 

1)   
Type 1 is 30º

2)   Type
2 is 18º

 

It sounds like an easy thing. OK it might be. But before I spend a heap
of money on a mount, I’d like to know for certain how to measure the angle
correctly.

I had no takers on how to do this so I called Mike Snow of Snowline and
ask that he send the two mount rings to me so I can determine with absolute
certainty which I have with this engine.

Jim,
 
AFAIUI, the engine number will tell you. For instance, I have a Lycoming
IO-320-B1A and the B1A means it is a type 2 Dynafocal.
 
I also think the type 2 is pretty rare. It was only used on aircraft with
extended props, such as the Twin Comanche.

This engine is a Teledyne Mattituck built ECI Lycoming clone.

Thanks again for the info.
