Installation Instructions

1. Corvair engine mount is shown below along with the hardware, but all engine mounts use the same pattern to attach to the fuselage.  However, the bolts will be a different lengths and thicknesses depending on the engine mount (see above).  Please use this as a guide for your particular engine mount.

2. The lower center engine mount bolt location is not as rigidly fixed as the other 4.  As a result, it can vary slightly more during the welding process.  Hold the engine mount tight against the firewall and check what the distance is between the firewall and the engine mount.  A 0.032” shim was made in part 1 of this manual, if the gap is more than 0.032” you can shim as required to fill the gap.  Once the shims have been determined and in place, attach them to the firewall using appropriate stainless steel rivets. (grip length will be determined by your shims.)
