Found a solid motor mount for my IO-360 and it fits three of the four spools in the corners of my Skybolt firewall. Lower right corner of the mount needs to move about 3/4 inch southeast. There is enough spring in that leg to insert and tighten the bolt. Is the mount good to go with this preload, or should I apply the smoke wrench to relieve some of the stress? I think using a heating tip to carefully bring two tubes up to dull red heat in places indicated by "X" might produce needed movement. Would appreciate suggestions to leave it alone or another way to get better alignment. Thanks in advance--Ed T
