Day 9: The Top End and Mount

Manufacturer nuts are not going to happen. Team member Karl's dad, John D., was given the dimensions that were needed and the top end to use for reference. He quickly cranked out the needed nuts and they work marvelously!
This project would be dead in the water if not for his gracious help. The top end has to be installed for the engine to be mounted.

As you can see, the nuts work and seat perfectly! Now that this dilemma has be easily conquered, progress will be much swifter folks! I have already sealed up the engine and mounted it in the frame.

Many thanks again to John! His valuable time and magnificent expertise were key to this phase!
