The shock-absorbers for our Hydro-Mount-System had to be specially designed and

manufactured, using hydraulic rod seals, as none of the already available shock-absorb-

ers could cope with the demands of being fitted into our Hydro-Mount-System.

You will see that our shock-absorbers are finned to provide adequate cooling, (they

transform movement energy into heat), and fitted with a rubber grommet, which

absorbs the very fine oscillatory movement at full throttle where the shock-absorber

is getting stiffer.

The HMS is a complete system, with four special rubber silent blocks, two shock ab-

sorbers, mounting brackets and rubber grommets for the shock absorber, all screws

nuts and washers and a ready formed spider leg engine mount are included.

Cooling air opening

For cooling the Titan ZG 45PCI-HV it is not necessary to have a specially large opening

in the cowl. But it is essential to ensure, that as much air as possible entering the cowl

flows through the finning and around the carburettor, which also needs cold air. Air

takes the path of least resistance and will not normally flow through the fins, unless

you take positive steps to force it to do so by means of air-ducting. Balsa sheeting and

blocks is the best material to use for this.

It is essential that the ducting almost makes contact with the engine, so balsa is bet-

ter than aluminium, for should the latter make contact with the engine, this can easily

cause severe radio interference due to metal to metal contact generated noise.

The Hydro-Mount-System Piper is designed

to fit into our Piper PA-18. The cylinder is

inverted and 7 degrees left from vertical.

The stainless muffler is placed right behind

the crankcase and screwed to the aluminium

spider leg mount. The Hydro-Mount-System

Piper can be integrated in many other mod-

els, as long as the cowl is big enough to take

the engine.
