Brief Description:  Engine Mount

I got an engine mount from the Cozy Girlls that uses the H support to provide room for the fuel injection equipment. It is a Dynafocal mount 2. When I tried it on the attach points it was obvious that their was one or more of the attach points that were not in the same vertical plane. I set up a method to check. I made sure the plane is level fore and aft and side to side. Using a laser that sweeps in a full circle I set up a line from one inside wing bolt to the other. I used a plumb bob to mark the vertical on the ceiling to make sure that the laser circle is vertical.
When I measured the points. I found the upper right (facing the firewall from the back) was about 1/6" high (coming out of the firewall is high). I decided the best fix would be to add a 1/8" T2024 metal pad floxed in and covered with 2 ply BID. I added all three and peel ply'd them. I will measure in the morning to see of this fixed the problem.
It does appear that the mount itself may not be entirely true. While sitting on the concrete, it does rock slightly. I theorize that I should be able to use washers to account for this.
The engine mounts are Lord J-7401.
