<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What looks to be the "firewall" is actually the
rear plate of the motor mount. THAT plate is soft-mounted to the real
firewall using the rubber washers/well nut method that Lee Davis shows on the
Piedmont website, and many are using. Mine is an adaptation, intended to
move the anchor points for the "soft mount" to the extreme edges. Look
here, Roberto</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hi Bob,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I saw the pictures of your servo arrangement.</DIV>
<DIV>My opinion is that such installation is not so good, because the servo is
not connected to the engine DIRECTLY, but to the engine mount.</DIV>
<DIV>Being a fixed installation (not soft mounted), there is a relative motion
among the engine (that wants to rotate) and the engine mount (that is secured
firmly to the firewall). In this way you cannot say that the servo is
connected to the engine.</DIV>
<DIV>I don't know if this way is safe or not, but of course it is WAY less
safe and precise than the servo connected to a soft mounted engine.</DIV>
<DIV>I supposed that you was referring to an Hyde mounted engine. On your
installation, my advices are not appliable.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best Regards</DIV>
