<p>Looking pretty good there, John! Thank you for keeping up the momentum on your conversion project. I take it this is a C85-8F?</p>
<p>Will you be using the mixture control? I highly recommend installing a cable for it, if you haven’t already, and a CHT/EGT gauge.</p>
<p>That has to be the nicest Collegiate gas tank I’ve ever seen.</p>

<p>I have someone building my engine mount based on the Porterfield drawings but he had two questions I was hoping you could answer. First it looks like the mount uses 1/4 inch bolts for mount to fuselage and he had questions on the bushing dimensions for part # 2759-2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
