Replacing 0320 for 0360

[King Brown]

My buddy wants to know if he should beef up anything if he hangs a 0360 on his 0320 regular Tripacer engine mount?

Cast my fly over there, thanks, Mike. Buddy's concern is whether it's a straight bolt-on for the 0360 to the engine mount now holding 0320, and whether an extra diagonal is needed from top engine bolt to lower longeron as posted here a la fix PA18.

King, don't recall the details but I think Univair has the STC. There was a banner tug hereabouts some years ago, but don't recall details.

Thanks. cubscout

There must be many Tripacer 180hp with dynafocal or conical mounts. Know of any without going Univair? Thanks

The Univair catalog has a picture of the O-360 mount for their STC if that helps.
