Guys,



  Anybody else have this problem? 



 I pinned the motor mount onto the firewall today.  With the top 2 motor mount holes up flush against the firewall, the bottom 2 outboard holes are about a 3/16 of an inch from the firewall.  This is because the 2 bottom inboard mounting holes of the motor mount won't allow the 2 outboard mounts to sit flush.



  What did you guys do about it?  Send it back? Make shims?  Just pulled it tight with the bolts?  Reweld it?



  I'm inclined to make shims.  I don't want undue stress on the mount by pulling it tight with the bolts.

I do not remember having that problem.  If I remember right mine all sat

pretty flat.

Zack, my concerns were more to do with the alignment of the outer holes

being up to half a hole out, but found when I began to pull the bolts up it

easily stretched and moved into place, well below any torque value required

on the nuts. You'll find some information in the archives reporting the fact

that there seems to be a bit of twist in some frames.

Just drilled up the motor mount this morning; another possible gotcha is the 

top two pilot holes on the QB (#8 Mar/2005) fuselage were about .050 

different in distances from the outboard edge. When we drilled the right top 

pilot hole the left top was almost out of the mount hole. After pinning the 

other four holes with rivet sets which fit the 3/16" on one end 3/8" on the 

other and 3/16" bolts we were able to flex the mount on the top left hole to 

use as a drill bushing for an off center drilling of the pilot hole. Also 

its best to test fit the motor mount (section 47) before riveting the front 

deck (section 41) as the access for cleaning and deburring the mount holes 

inside is much easier.
