 Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:37 am Post subject: Firewall Attachment Plates Thickness? |
 |
|
Looking at my Engine Mount for a3300 on a 601xl [Supplied by Jab USA] and noticed the Firewall Attachment Plates are only 0.080” thick on the Upper L/H and both bottom plates. The upper R/H is 0.125” thick. On the Zenith drawing6-JE-1 it specifies that all should be 0.125” thick. Has anyone else come across this anomaly Cheers

Not sure what the problem is , I suspect just the thickness of the powder
coating and nothing more, it is highly unlikely that someone has use
different thickness materials.

Looking at my 3300A mount it seems thick. Like .090. Both sides are the
same....
Possibly the botton plates are .060. ????
These mounts should not be powder coated.
Cracks can develop and with powder coatings might not be seen.....
I know many builders do powder coat but Jabiru suggests not....

Your probably right. I was guessing at the thickness.....
I got my mount from Jabiru West.
It looks beefy....

Just started to repair the engine mount and 7 & 8 should be 0.058" thick but again they have used only 0.035". Jabiru USA must get on top of this shoddy workmanship as this is the second engine mount that is not to specifications.The only reason I could measure the wall thickness was do to it cracking and during straightening breaking off completely. I now wonder how many under sized Jabiru engine mounts are out there. Cheers T87
