Engine Shock Mount Replacement

[Skymaster337B]

So, how did you keep weight on the nose wheel? Did you put wooden supports on the tail boom?

[skymstr02]

Yes, used a pole bolted to the tail tie down with a cushion to keep from maring the paint on the lower boom in the area around the tie down.

Sounds like an easier way to keep the tail down than what the book says to do (build a wooden support). What kind of pole did you use? How did you keep the pole from sliding around on the ground?

Not the best photo but this is a boom cradle with adjustable height
Has a wide plate on the bottom to support the pipe that has another pipe inside to adjust height with series of holes and pin
The saddle for the boom is on a swivel and is just a piece of heavy iron strap (like 1/4 x 3) bent in the shape of the boom and has a piece of rubber glued to the inside
These belong to Jerry DeSantis and I have some better pictures somewhere but it's really pretty straight forward design
Oh, there is one for each side :-)

I'm looking for help with engine shock mount part numbers, for a 67' model. My parts manual shows shock mount kit# J-9613-31, but only for the front engine front mounts, and the rear engine aft mounts. The front engine aft mounts, and the rear engine forward mounts are not listed. So are all four engine mounts the same? They certainly don't look like it. I'd appreciate any help with engine shock mount part numbers...especially the front engine aft mounts and rear engine forward mounts.

I have a 1967 337B and the shock mounts are all the same type. I find the Barry mounts are significantly less expensive than the Lords. I have not noticed a difference in the service life.

You can find the part numbers in this table from Sky Geek.

Wow, thanks for the cheaper option...especially if it's the same quality. One final question, are these mounts sold individually or in pairs of two or four, for the $150ish?
