<DIV>What I did a while back was to drill the firewall corners and install 3/16" carbon tubing, similar to a Hanson arrangement. The tubing essentially formed the four legs of chair, extending forward and coming together into a seat. The seat of the chair formed the nose ring. The nose ring was made from rubber sheet. Worked well enough but wasn't easily removable. </DIV>

<DIV>Eventually I opted to remove all that and mount the cowling permanently instead. I opted for a hatch on the bottom of the cowling for engine access and that assembly worked better and was lighter. Good l,uck Bob</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hoping there's someone out here with a creative solution to a pesky problem.... on my own rotational mount, with the OS 1.60, I think I need to install a nose ring....Arresti is a "cowling" nose, so can't go there....don't want to replace cowling with built up wooden assy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Any ideas for making some kind of tripod/post affair that would attach to the firewall ( I have area of firewall around the mount that is accessible on all sides) to mount the nose ring to???</FONT></DIV>
