REFLECTOR: Continental engine mount off center?

[Reiff Lorenz]

I compared the measurements from my rear dynafocal rings to the top and bottom firewall attachment points of the engine mount. Left measurements matched right measurements within 0 - 1/8 inch tolerance. That still may be enough variation that some shimming will be required eventually, but I'm satisfied for now.

Thanks for raising the issue. It's helpful for me to check these things early and be aware during the construction process of any adjustments that may need accommodations.

I measured from the lower left firewall bolt head (you can measure from the hole) to the left rear dynafocal bolt. Repeat on the right side and compare.

I just got a 550 engine mount from the factory. Wonder if mine is off-center, too. What's the best way to check a mount that is not yet mounted? Measure from the firewall attach points to the dyna-focal mounts?
