scribed into the front of the firewall with a laser. Download the manufacturer's mounting template and

length of the DA-60 with a 1 inch mount (We've had great success with the Blazing Star mounts as well as
the plywood spacers provided by DA). Drill holes at the locations provided on the template and install
the engine using the recommended mounting bolts. You may find it necessary to remove some of the
wood around the laser cut hole in the center of the firewall to accommodate the DA-60 carburetor. This
is easily accomplished with a rotary tool and drum sanding fitting.
