I'm using a four point HAPI VW mount with my 0-200 and I used 1/8" steel plates on each side of the firewall at each mount point. The head of the bolt is on the cockpit side with an all metal lock nut on the firewall side for ease of inspection. If you look closely in the following two photos you can see the bottom mounts on the cockpit side. I wanted to spread the "crush" area on the firewall when I went to tighten down the bolts. Seems to be holding up just fine to date. http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flesner/20.jpg http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/flesner/2.jpg Larry Flesner
