Jabiru mount for Model C?

Thinking about converting from 582 to Jabiru. Is there a supplier for the mount or are drawings available to fabricate your own? I am already guessing that I will have to fabricate a new cowling myself. Not sure about fabricating the mount myself from scratch.

Thanks, Dan

IIRC, Dan Murphy of Two Harbors, MN might have the cowling mold.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. For now I plan to make my own.

Hey dan

jabiru lists the avid flyer as a supported kit on their installation page. it seems they sell engine mounts for the avid, so no need to fabricate your own.

i recently sent them an email and got an answer back yesterday regarding the availability of avid engine mounts:

Hi Pascal

All I have as per my paper trial here on the Avid is x 2 engine mounts and no cowling at all sorry, Avid 1,2&3 and a Avid mark 4

Kind Regards

 as far as i understand this, that means he's got two engine mounts in stock but you will have to fabricate your own cowling.. i think i saw someone post on this forum that he got the mount through the US rep of jabiru and that the latest Gen 4 engine needs a different mount (two mount points are offset from previous engines, so make sure you get the right one when you buy your avid.

further more, there was a guy from alaska selling his jabiru powered avid here in the for sale section.. he is parting it out hand had a full fwf kit including the jabiru engine, cowling and mount.. maybe that's still availabe, give him a call.

i on my part have decided to go with a rotax 912, so don't worry about me when you order the last engine mount ;)

 Dan.   I bought the fwf from the guy in Alaska for my C model, the engine is temporarily on the airplane as I’m ‘tuning up the cowl’ a little bit. But could get you the specs if needed, no problem.
