Guys,
Just a couple of questions regarding the engine mount
for a Corvair in a KR2S.
1. The plans in WW's book seem to be misleading.  The
dimensions for the motor mount bolts are not clearly
explained or I read them wrong.  The book says 10.125
for the fore to aft distance from center bolt hole to
center.  However, the center bolt hole distance on the
left to right bolts is given as 10.25.  But, the
impression given on the plans is that the sides of the
tray are 10.25, not the center of the mounting bolts. 
So is that correct?  Is it 10.250 from center bolt to
center bolt or is that the inside dimension of the
tray?  Take a quick look at the plans and let me know.
 I finished my tray today and I went 10.25 from center
bolt to center bolt.  I hope I don't have to make
another one.
2. On Mark Langford's page of engine mounts it refers
to the distance from the bottom of the firewall to the
bottom of the aluminum block?  Is that correct?  What
is the distance from the bottom of the firewall to the
bottom of the tray?  Is it different for everybody?  I
will use Mark's distance from the firewall but I just
want to be sure of the vertical placement.  Any advice
would be appreciated.  I made a second firewall just
to mount this tray to during construction so I have
one exactly per the plans.

That's it for now.  Plugging away.  But everything I
do seems to take forever.  Thanks for listening.
