Are all four of the engine mount ears of the small ear type? To clarify, if
one had an engine from an airframe which used the large mounts would
a total of 4 small ear mounts be needed?
In the experience of the list, what has the availability of used small ear mounts been?
Also, do the C4B5 540's have the crank counterweights for the CS prop as the normal configuration?
Thanks,
Kevin

If anyone is short a single small engine mount ear I have one available. My buddy, Terry Cole, who passed away while building an RV-10 had a big stack of misc. engine parts from multiple engines that he acquired over the past 10 years and in going through multiple boxes one of the IO-540 small ears was found.

You would need all 4. They shouldn't be hard to come by used, since some
planes still need this large hole mounts (I think the Rocket needs the large
hole). You could always buy them new in a pinch (and might even get them
cheaper than buying a whole new engine).
Do not archive.

I would like to gather opinions on two topics, now that I am getting close
to having to do both of them.
Where to place the magnetometer's, yes I will have two. I built a shelf in
front of the first bulkhead behind the baggage compartment bulkhead, but I
am having second thoughts and want some opinions. I am thinking about
putting them out in the wingtips, first forward bay inboard.
Second, what are y'all using on the top of the wings in the walk area (anti
slip)
Any opinions are appreciated.

Kevin,
Short answer is yes.
Longer answer is that the "4" as the second digit in the suffix specifies the counterweight configuration, so the C4B5 has the same counterweight configuration as the D4A5 engine.
