I have the 46 sized cub and I **** having some problems with installing the engine mounts. The height of the mount is not a problem but the left/right positioning of the mounts is not clear. The vertical line on the bulkhead is not central, is that correct. Please see photo.

The aluminum motor mounting plate should be used as a template to mark the fire-wall where the four holes need to be drilled. After marking, remove the plate and drill a 5mm hole through the plywood at each of the four marks. The aluminum motor mounting and screws are included with the engine. The mounting position should ensure that B = 152-158mm.
