O-200 engine on Champ

[Eric Brown]

When installing an O-200 in my 7AC, I saw no problems in using the standard engine mount. Mind you, I did not use the Lord mounts, since they move the engine forward far enough to require a modification to the cowling. Instead, I bought a set of conical inserts off of Ebay and used them with the standard rubber bushings. It all turned out just fine and works like it should.

Installing the conical inserts and using the cone rubber mounts was the suggestion from the person that I had originally received the problem info. And ... since I will be using the 4-884 "long mount" on my project, I will be extending my cowl anyway. So far no luck with Aerospace Welders on the proposal to modify my 4-884 mount to a 4-1207. I was assuming AWI had the fixture for the 4-884 mount, as their website says they repair 4-884s. The AWI mount manager was going to check if they had the fixture. Haven't heard back in a week. If they could do the modification, I would install it as an "owner produced" part.
