Hi. Regarding the Wittman/RV style gear socket/tubes integral to the engine mount:
These sockets generally either have a sleeve inside each end, or the center section in the tube is ground bigger.
Is this approach for lightness only? Or, is there an engineering reason for this, e.g. the extra I.D. in the middle of the tube created by sleeves or machining the I.D. bigger may provide more room for the leg flexing within the tube under loads...?
