Is there any advantage using one type of dynafocal ring over another?
I plan to install an IO-360 into a Falco.
Thanks,
Mike Schuler

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?
