Ok, I have an O-290G that I intend to use on my project... When I got it, it had been converted to aircraft config, so that's out of the way....

The only thing is, the mounts...

The 290D uses conical rubber mounts...

The 290G case is not machined for those, but rather has a circular pad machined into the mounting ears, with a hole in the center... The holes are straight through (not at an angle) so I assume the engine is designed for conical mounting.....

What kind of shock mount am I supposed to use with this?

The more expensive 'sandwich' mounts used on the larger motors? Or something completely different???
