All,
What advice do you have about working on the cabin forward skins / top skin without having an engine mount.
The Photo Assembly guide suggests not to drill any holes in the upper engine/cabin frame mount until I have an engine mount. What have others done at this stage, or did all of you have your engine mount already?

My 10c is to decide on an engine and install the Mount asap. I bought the mount only from Zenith and fitted it. Over a year later I ordered the Engine from lockwood and the FWF package from Zenith. Its easier to fit it sooner than later...Geoff

I approached it the same way as Geoff--decided on the engine, bought just the mount, and kept on going. If push comes to shove and you change your mind on the engine later you can swap out the mount then. Having a mount definitely helps keep your momentum up as you're working on the fwd fuselage.
