I used one of those multi-adjustable aluminum motor mounts.... two pieces that slide forward & backward to get the right distance for the cowl......

Is that the clipped wings 70" kit from 1985 ?

[mikeszone]

It is from 1985, but it is the aniversary edition with the full wing....... 78 inch span.....

what kind of motor mount did you use for your conversion. I am in the process of doing one right now and need some help in the motor mount.
