 Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 12:12 pm Post subject: XL firewall/motor-mount: bolts or studs |
 |
|
My relatively old XL kit came with brackets to attach the motor mount to the
firewall via studs welded to the brackets. Lately I have seen pictures where
the motor mount is fastened to the firewall via bolts. In other words with
my brackets what you see on the engine side of the firewall is a nut on a
stud holding the motor mount to the firewall. But in this apparently new
design what you see is the head of a bolt which, presumably, is threaded
into a captive nut on the bracket. Does anyone know if what I am seeing is
true? If so when did the change happen and why?

That's the way mine is set up, and it now has an engine hanging on it so I hope it's ok!

I too had the orginal braket but I needed to replace it. What the sent me had no bolt at all. The bolt (you select the length you need depending on mount) is a seperate part as is the nut.)
THe new braket also has part of the mounting hardware for the canopy.

How do you hold the nut while tightening the bolts? Isn't it on the
pilot-side of the firewall? If so and the glare-shield is installed it could
be very hard to reach the nut with a socket.

Isn't that why God allowed us to have children or grandchildren?

The engine mount will be installed prior to the glare shield be riveted.
