This is the Zenair, Midland supplied CH750 firewall float attach bracket. Its not even close to correctly made. The tabs on the firewall go under the motor mount sharing a common bolt with the motor mount. The tabs on the print are supposed to be long enough to add an additional bolt above the lower motor mount bolt... as supplied it won't even catch the motor mount bolt. Note - the tabs should have been made to match the angled firewall doubler L but are not. The bottom part of this bracket is supposed to go on the outside of cabin "L" longeron...its all CNC match drilled so I did not install them incorrectly. The lower tabs did not alighn with the lower "L" longerons. This useless part and 2 pieces of steel angle that replace the aluminum angle that presently hold your main gear spring in place cost $290.

Mark... my mistake it was $390. You should build your own and weld it into your motor mount before installing the engine.

$290.00??

You got a deal! I just paid $390.00!!!! Is it just me or do some of these parts have pretty high prices? You'd think we were buying certified parts!

I'd better see some insanely good welding and it better fit down to the micron for that price!!!
