Guy,
I thought an update on the engine mount. It is installed and bolts
tightened. I was surprised that while fitting the cowl, the oil tank needed
a bit of surgery. I was thinking of cutting a corner off the bottom and
having a welder weld it up again. I noticed a small dent on the bottom
corner and it gave me the idea that I might be able to do a little body and
fender work on it to get it to fit. I did exactly that and used some micro
and epoxy to smooth it out and then painted the bottom bowl my finish color
to hide the fix.
I am making the donuts, but I had two miscasts so only have four to date. I
think I still have enough of the rubber for the remaining four. I used the
light weight engine stand from Harbor Freight. I made a jig that mated to
it and if you would like it, I can send it down. It allows for two axis
alignment - pitch and bank. I did weld the rotating tube in the stand for
stability. I also found some cone shaped things that I used to locate the
donut rings while welding. You can have those as well. They won't burn up
with the welding.
Photos attached.

Most of us have done it, Lowell...more than once. It was interesting
though.
