I have a IO-540 C2C (narrow deck, 250hp) engine and I'm short one mounting ear.  This model has the larger hole for the Lord mounts and has the two alignment pins along with the four bolt holes.  Does anyone have one available or know where I can find one?

Thanks,

Nick

If you mean the larger main hole, you have the wrong ears.  In this  

case you would need to get a full set of small-hole ears.  The shock  

mounts, whether they be the Lord mounts or the others that Van's is  

now shipping with the FWF kit, they still need to go through the same  

size hole in the engine ear.  Send me a picture off-line and I will  

let you know if they look like the right or wrong ears.

I ended up with the larger hole mounts (only three so far) because when I sent off for the Lord mounts (not Van's) specifying the IO-540 C2C, they said the right ones for the engine were the ones for the large hole.  Shouldn't really matter other than I need to find one more.



Anyone know where I can find one?



Thanks

I've got one Nick that is used serviceable and has passed NDT

inspection.  It sells for $220 plus freight.  Let me know if you'd like

it.



Ref the large hole mounts, versus the small hole.  The large hole mount

was designed for engines that use a prop extension.  It was designed to

move the focal point of the engine forward.  The large hole mount is 28

degree rather than the 30 degree on the small mount.



Hope this information is helpful to you.

Nick,



Sorry to say it, but the ears with large holes won't work with a standard 

RV-10 engine mount. The angle and spacing is wrong. I had the large ears on 

my engine and thought I could get the rubber mounts for this type of ear, 

bit it wouldn't match the engine mount. The only way I could get it to work 

is to buy the ears with small holes. They will bolt to the engine the same 

as the large ears, but their angle matches the engine mount.

Thanks to everyone for their input.  This certainly saved me a great deal of grief in the future.  Easier to replace the mounts now and get the right ones than figure out why it wasn't fitting correctly later.



My appreciation to all of you for your help.
