Is there any advantage using one type of dynafocal ring over another?  

I plan to install an IO-360 into a Falco.  

Thanks,

Not sure what you're asking. The ring has to fit the engine. Type 1 is 

by far the most common; type 2 was used on a few twins that had extended 

hub props to streamline the engine nacelles better. The difference is 

the point within the engine where the angles of the mounting bolts 

converge to a point. It's supposed to be at the cg of the engine/prop 

assembly.



The 'ears' on the engine are cut differently for the type 1 & type 2 mounts.



If you're buying a used engine, you *might* stumble upon an engine that 

came off a twin with type 2 ears, but they are relatively rare. If 

you're buying new, you'd probably have to beg to get one.



As an example of how rare they are, Van's A/C no longer supplies type 2 

mounts for their kits, & they probably sell more Lyc powered kits than 

all the other kit makers combined.



Does that help?
