 Step 5
Measure and record the measurements as shown.
Hint: A Saito™ 1.80 should be 2

 Step 6
Mark the centerline for the engine onto the firewall.
Note the vertical centerline is offset to the right side
of center as viewed from the front due to the built-in
right-thrust. Mark the positions for the mount halves
as shown. These will be the same no matter what
engine if you are using the supplied mount.
Note: The engine is not centered between the
engine mount holes. The lines drawn for the
mount reflect this.
