Just curious if anyone has had any trouble lining up the Motor Mount holes with the fuse firewall. After measuring the firewall holes and then the mount they do not appear to be close on the top holes at all. Plus the mount brackets do not sit FLUSH to the firewall and one is 1/8 inch from touching the firewall. Hope this is not normal...........I can accept fiberglass being off some but this seems too important to fudge.
Thanks,
Dean

Mine was not perfect. It has been a while and I cannot compare my
mount with yours directly. It took a little wrestling to get it to
fit. And yes....it does not sit perfectly flush, it is an acceptable
fit.

Mine was fairly flush, especially after tightening. Didn't
have much gap at all. But, the holes didn't line up
perfectly. Luckily the QB fuse had slightly undersized holes, so
drilling the out kind of helped center them. Pulling on it
a bit helped too.

Something like this you want to contact Vans.Ours sat flush. Also was your
mount modified to make more clearance for the mount?

Dean,
I have seen this as well in the engine mount. I think that Van's has
accommodated the small variances in the way they have you drill the holes
for the mount. If memory serves me correctly they have you locate a couple
of the holes and then simply drill through the firewall for the rest using
the mount as a drill guide.

I am a reasonable TIG welder and am always fighting warpage. Even with jigs the weldment will have internal stress that pulls something some way or another.
My mount was slightly pretzelled but pulled down nicely when under load from the bolts. Once the mount is under stress from the firewall bolts and the engine weight do not remove any of the firewall bolts as the mount will move. If you are going to use the firewall bolts to terminate an engine ground make sure the ground wire is already attached to the firewall before you hang the engine.

What’s the favorite spot folks are using for an electrical ground up front?

I have a geared starter, which will use less current than a direct drive design, and installed #2 wire. For the ground wire I was interested in wire flexibility and lug size for the short run. Ended up installing two #4 wires from the left/right aft end of the engine to the two inside bottom firewall bolts. Purchased bolts one size longer to accomodate the wire end lug. Very happy with results.
