    Hi Whee,

    Great build thread. I noticed you were involved in a Stinson o-540 mount situation. Do you know what the tube sizes and thickness were?

    Thanks

    whee I didn’t have anything to do with a 540 mount. I designed my own TCM IO360 mount and got some pics of a 470 Stinson mount but that’s all.

    could you give me the dimensions for the brake peddle mod for the clevland cyl? I have done this on my 108-3 but I had to mod the bottom attach as I had the -3 peddle. I would find some earlier ones and do what you did.
