Engine mount for dynafocal engine.

So the airplane will eventually need an engine bolted to the front of it to give it the power to burn money.  The project came with a "run-out" engine that had a dynafocal type mount.  It was time to build that to the landing gear mount.  First I fit it to the engine to look at where clearance needed to be built in.  Then I made a template of the front of the plane and the landing gear mount.  I then made a small jig from all thread and angle iron to hold the dynafocal ring in space with the correct clearance away from the firewall.  I leveled the false firewall jig, the jig that holds the ring, measured the thrust line to the jig, lined everything up where it should be, and started cutting some tubes.
