Thanks for the clarification. I just re-checked the conversion manual = and it isn't in there, perhaps on his website. I know I saw that sketch as well = as the finished product somewhere. The picture showed a tube running back = off the mount to the lower center firewall area where a piece of angle = proceeded under the firewall and was attached to the bottom of the boat just aft = of the firewall. Kudos to everyone involved in the design and Mark for Improvising as Mark put it. This seems to be a straight forward design = that addresses not only the original question of the firewall separation but = also how to spread the force along an even greater area of the boat in high G pull-ups as well as stress from nose gear along the whole frontal area during a hard landing. Thanks again and will have to check Mark J's site = for detailed pictures should I decide to go with the tri-gear. Doug
