37. D CUT AWAY AREAS FOR ENGINE CLEARANCE;
DRILL HOLES IN MOUNT FOR ENGINE; TEMPO-
RARILY MOUNT ENGINE TO FUSE
Temporarily install your mount and engine.
Relieve the engine compartment so the engine rests flat
on the engine mount. Check for binding of the throttle
arm. Mark and drill the holes in the mount for engine
mount bolts. Tap the holes for bolts and nuts or use self-
tapping bolts to hold the engine on the mount. The engine
has no down thrust and no right thrust.
38. D GLUE NOSE FILLER BLOCK IN PLACE; ADD
SPINNER RING
Using your engine as a guide, locate the place-
ment of the front filler block. The engine thrust washer
should extend 1/16" to 1/8" inches forward of the filler
block. Cut away areas on the block for engine clearance.
The placement of these parts depends on what brand
spinner you will use. Inspect your spinner backplate and
locate the block accordingly. When you are sure of the
placement, glue the crossgrain spinner filler block in
place. Sand the front of the nose if necessary. Glue the
ply spinner ring in place on the filler block using your
engine and spinner backplate as a guide for placement.
39. D ADD 3/8 TRI STOCK TO NOSE; SAND NOSE TO
SHAPE
Remove the engine and add the 3/8 triangle
stock along the bottom sides of the engine compartment
and behind the filler block. Custom fit these pieces so
they glue to the firewall and front filler block. Sand and
carve the nose to the shape of the spinner ring.
40. D DRILL FUEL LINE AND DRAIN HOLES; DRILL
NOSEGEAR CLEARANCE HOLES FOR TRIKE
GEAR
Drill the holes in former 1A for the fuel lines. For
conventional gear, drill a drain hole in the bottom of the
engine compartment just in front of the firewall. (For
tricycle gear, d r i l l a hole in the chin block for nosegear,
Relieve the chin block for nosegear spring clearance.
Relieve the 3/8 tri stock for steering arm clearance.)
