I installed my WW KR mount on my KR2 had had no issues with it. I made a mock up of a firewall and practiced on it. When it came time to install, I got a couple of friends to help hold it in the exact place, determined by measuring for and marking the location that would give a center location. The bottom is dictated by the flanges on the bottom mount brackets. I used 3/16" X 3" aluminum angle inside the shelf for support, and a flat piece of 3/16" aluminum on the bottom.
If you have any specific questions or need some pics, I can respond tomorrow and get pics on Friday. Speaking of WW Corvair mounts, I have one for sale, unless you want to buy the whole plane less wings and engine.

I used bolts! I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but the KR2 and KR2S firewalls are both 22" tall, but the S is almost 2" wider. That may be your issue, since the protoype was made for the S, and the top members go to the corners of the firewall. If so, those top two arms may need to be partially cut loose and rewelded a tad narrower. \ There's more info on the development of my mount (the prototype) at <http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/mount_fit.html> http://www.n56ml.com/corvair/mount_fit.html , if that's any help...
