It is suggested to use as heavy and rigid as possible engine mounting for highest performance and 
safe  running.    Conventional  wooden  mounting  beams  should  be  of  rigid  hardwood  and  of  at  least 
15mm or 5/8-in square section.  Use at least 5mm steel screws, such as Allen type, with locknuts, for 
bolting the engine to the bearers..

Re-align the surfaces

as necessary

Opposite beam

Top surfaces are not in the
same plane.

● 

Make  sure  that  these  mounting  beams  are 
accurately aligned and firmly integrated with 
the  airframe,  reinforcing  the  adjacent 
structure  to  absorb  vibration.  Use  4mm  or 
larger  steel  screws,  preferably  Allen  type 
hexagon  socket  head  cap  screws,  with 
washers and locknuts, for bolting the engine 
to the bearers.

O.S. Radial Motor Mount
A  special  O.S.  radial  motor  mount  (Code 
No.71904200)  is  available,  as  an  optional 
extra,  for  use  where  firewall  type  mounting  is 
required.
