have a Continental engine and mount to install. ?The problem is that my
continental engine mount attaches at the top of my firewall. ?My fuel tank
attaches to my firewall at the top where I need to run my bolt holes

yours.

The top shelf is there for strength for the engine mount to mount to. Also I
put a 3 x 3 inch alum angle connecting the top shelf and fire wall for
strength. As the 0200 is a hole lot more weight then the Ve the plans are
designed for. Mark Langford has great info on strengthening the firewall a
