<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>&nbsp;Marv, you're right. Torquing the bolts

WILL depress the fibrefrax AND that lovely SS firwall you so carefully cut out.

The manual talks about using AN washers, but two of them at each engine mount

will add a lot of unnecessary weight. Duane Hitchcock gave me another of his

excellent tips. Use a hole saw to cut 1/4&quot; phenolic pieces the size of the

engine mount feet and attach them to the firwall under the mounting pads. The

1/4&quot; space is perfect for the fibrefrax material and no squishing of your

SS.</FONT></DIV>
