Hercpilot Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Anyone mod their O-235 conical mount for use with an O-320 upgrade? If so, what needs to be done, specifically to the mount, to accommodate the heavier motor? I am fully aware of the extrusion strengthening requirements.

Drew Swenson Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I took my mount to Dave Ronneburg. He welded on another support tube to each of the upper 2 biscuits. That---and replacing the upper two extrusions is all I did mounting-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercpilot Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Was that additional support ran horizontally between the upper two mounting lugs? Quote Justin http://web.me.com/hercpilot/Justins_Website/Welcome.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
