     I have the parts in the Leaf diagram, i need to attach them to the firewall. Im trying to build the other half of the engine mount. specifically the parts the arrows are pointing to. do the #6 washers get welded inside the cups?

    Thank you. Im chomping at the bit to start building a 912 mount, Are the washer another component or a different style attachment to the suspension ring? In the pictures earlier in this thread it looks like the isolators fit inside the sockets

    I emailed Kitfox and they said they don;t sell the sockets for the rubber mount separate. I have a suspension ring already. Can anyone help?

    Yes, it is coming with the oil tank, voltage regulator, exhaust system , radiator, OIL COOLER, air filters and etc. The exhaust is for a pusher unfortunately. Why the bed type?

    Where did you guys get your engine mounts? Were there any special accessories needed? My 912 is on its way...

    I agree they are plentiful and the price of used one are starting to reflect that. Maybe not the most powerful option but a well proven one. Even the used accessory are becoming affordable.

    I have a 670 of the appropriate year with the case already machined. It still needs to be overhauled and converted. The 912 im looking at comes with everything but the engine mount and is less the 5k delivered. If the 912 deal does not not pan out i may revisit the 670. Plus my 528 only has 10hr since a Leaf rebuild with everything new, pistons,crank.ect... Hard to bring my self to trading it in for parts.

    MK4 Engine swap
    Im ready to upgrade the 582. I think it was the Yamaha Apex that got me excited about something different. After tons of research the Yamaha looks better and better, until you add up all the cost. What starts out as a look at this cost effective Rotax 912 replacement, ends up being well it has more HP and is a little lighter. The used 912 market is very attractive, many GOOD  FWF 912's for under 8k. Im working on a deal for a 912 as we speak. The main reason for this post is im looking for the other threads about the 912 swap. What engine mounts and hurtles other have overcome. I try the search engine but i cat get the darn thing to do squat. I know i have seen other document there swap. Please share advice and knowledge gained with your experience.

    great stuff, i think i read a post about modifying the pedals for comfort and leverage. If anyone remembers where it was or anything similar please toss a link up here. Can the Matco masters be modified to 1/2''?

    AC 43-13 has the info. This still does not give individuals the skills. Here is a great training video. Maybe sticky worthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd3sw0OppWM

    Chris, i purchased this plane about two years ago with the intent to of extending the wings and making it what i wanted. The amount of work involved and the blessing of a new member to our family put an end to that. This winter i was in my shed and depressed looking at it i posted it for sale. When i said cut up i should have said modify.
