 Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2018 12:49 pm Post subject: Nev's Engine Mount |
 |
|
Dear All,
I believe that Nev’s firewall forward design kept the engine in the same location as the XS but with a simpler, one piece, LAA approved engine mount.
Is there any reason not to use this mount on an XS install & does anyone know who has the jig.
Regards,
Roger

Hi Roger
I worked with Nev to get the mount approved with the laa. I had two mounts made in his jig one was used for ultimate strain testing and the other went into my aircraft. The last time I spoke to Nev he was having difficulty sourcing the castings for the rubber shock mounts.
I still have a sample of these. I also did the CAD drawing for Nev and still have the file and the stressing report we got approved. The jig went to one of Nev's freinds son who had just got his TIG certificate but I haven't a clue who this was so this doesn't really help sorry.
Best Regards

Thanks Mike,Carole said the workshop stuff went to Matthew Russell but he says he doesn’t have the jig.
I’d really like to track down the friend, can you think who might know his identity?

Roger

I would think Carole or Nev's son would know the friend? Not Nev's friend?

Was there any progress on finding the jig?
Can I get a copy of the drawings?
I assume the jig defines the landing gear holes and the rotax engine holes plus maybe provides some support for tubes while welding?
Is there a drawing of the jig? I can maybe weld the jig up
Doesnt it use the same Lord mountings?
Regards Graeme

Just an observation but Nev's mount still has the isolation rubbers between the undercarriage frame and the extension to the ring mount as I see it. On an XS more so than a classic as I have experienced it is putting more strain on those isolation rubbers and they sag in time and use.
Would it not be better to get those isolation rubbers between the extension and the ring mount (less arm to carry load).
Probably hard for you guys in the LAA but that's how I will be endeavouring to do it on the next one.
Cheers Peter
