I am in the process of replacing my model 90  582 with a bluehead model 99. In the original building manual they indicate that  all the mounting points will be equipped with 8mm holes, and the top  left front hole may require tapping. 

  

 My new engine has an offset 6mm tapped hole in that  location, I will attempt to include a picture. Has anyone else encountered this  change, and what did you do? My initial inclination is to simply use the smaller  bolt and leave the block unaltered.

Dave,

  

 I have had same issue and used a piece of S/S for  the samller hole.

 Rviet the SS plate to your alum engine mount.   

  

 Drilling and Tapping to me would be risky of  screwing up something else. You got a good hole there already.  I have over  1000 hours on this setup on my plane alone with no issues.  I do rip  the rear mounts out once in a while though.

I took the left front mount to a welding shop

and had the upper hole welded up and drilled

a new offset hole. All is good
