"Looking pretty good there, John! Thank you for keeping up the momentum on your conversion project. I take it this is a C85-8F?
Will you be using the mixture control? I highly recommend installing a cable for it, if you…"

Gents,I recently had a new engine mount made for my LC-65 in order to convert to a Continental 65hp engine. Top quality work product approved by my IA and a second IA. The manufacturer is not…Continue

"I will check with my mechanic who built the mount. We did have to tweak them slightly to get the correct fit. Status update: We have the rebuilt C-85 F mounted and exhaust fitted. We are doing the ducting work and cowl adjustments…"
"So what did you determine were the dimensions for 2759-1 & 2? I am especially interested in the thickness of -1."
"Sure thing here she is with mount on"

"My A&P just finished my mount and he might be willing to make another one. Just let me know. We just got it fitted to my fuse and my C85 is being rebuilt in the next few weeks."
"Very sad! I wonder if he’d be willing to part with his fixture now?"
"Sorry Joe. He had a bad fall while playing with his kids, hit his head and is disabled. Very sad."
"I'm interested. Who do I contact?"
"John,
Talked to my IA. He agreed that the mount uses 1/4 inch bolts for mounting to the fuselage but had no info on the bushing dimensions for part # 2759-2. Short of removing the mount from the firewall he was unable to measure."
"Hi John,
Sorry for the delay -- been dealing with illness and trying to make a living. I'll see what I can find out.
Perry"
"Perry
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…"

Perry,
A day in August would be great. For my dad and me, weekends are the best time. Perhaps you have some time available on one of the following days: Sunday, Aug 7; Saturday, Aug 20; or Sunday, Aug 28. If you are not available any of these days, please let me know what day or days would work best for you. Also, please let me know what time is most convenient for you.
Thanks!

Perry,
Thank you for your reply.
We had our 0145 B2 rebuilt a few years ago. My father did mention how the cylinders on the Continental engine are independent of the crankcase, which would make them much easier to service.
You have probably already noticed, my profile picture is our engine in its current state. I have also attached current pictures of the fuselage and wings.
I was wondering, would it be possible for my dad and me to come down and see your plane some time? I would be extremely grateful. Since I have never rebuilt a plane, it would be incredibly helpful to have an idea of how the finished product should look.
My hope is to benefit the members of the Porterfield Club by posting our experiences on the website
Here are the attached images:
