Hello;
I am planning to use the UL 520 T engine which is lighter than the Lyc IO 360.
Somewhere I read that there is a long engine mount for this airframe.
Does anybody have one or can give me insight ?
I don't want to carry around ballast to balance my plane.
BTW, several years ago I commented on how difficult is was to get parts for the 320/360...
Is it happening again ?

I built a few a couple years back and they all sold within 2 weeks. I don't know that there are any long mounts available. Do you need a Dynafocal 1 or 2?

Jose,
I don’t know if this is what you are looking for, but I ran across this ad on Barnstormers. Hope it helps.

Jose, I just got off the phone a few minutes ago and I was speaking with Ray Lawrence, the UL dealer - speaking specifically about engine mounts. You can use either a long or a short engine mount and he has an adapter plate that will bolt up. We have NOT had a UL power 'firewall to engine' mount made, and to do that, Ray will need a 'donor' mount.
I have 2 mounts for the Lyc 320, a long and a short. Once I get my engine sold listing coming momentarily, I'll know which mounts I have left and I can work with you, Ray, and probably Chris Norman on getting the initial engine mount completed.
If you'd like to exchange cell numbers, I'm happy to connect with you directly to discuss/coordinate. Love that the UL engines are catching on!

There are plenty of short mounts around that could be used to fabricate UL520 mounts.
Really, I think it would be easier to start from scratch for the UL520. The only parts that would be unaltered are the bolts going through the firewall. If using the UL520T complete exhaust system, it probably interferes with the original landing gear mount location. So that might have to change.
I have scanned both the long and short 320/360 Dynafocal mounts, and could provide that data if someone wants to fabricate new long mounts.

I'm pretty sure that I have at least 1 long mount.
