Now this is funny, I really wanted the solid mounts, so I would never have to look at the firewall mounts again. I figured that the solid mounts will last longer than me!(since I'm in my mid 50's) That is a given, cuz Dan would kill me if I installed the solid mounts :lol: I have never used Hill Air...

Well said Richard, sometimes my points don't come across clearly

Understood, Richard... I'm just saying after about five years, or so you have solid mounts due to the hardening of the rubber.. I'm sure we are on the same page......

Just my thoughts on the fire wall mounts.....You pull them up to torque, and after the first flight toque, is crap....then, no one looks at them again, until they look like the pic I sent. My personal thoughts are, they are a bad idea. I'm sure the engineers thought this through to the utmost. But a...

If your mount looks like this, You have a solid mount to the airframe. That's why I asked....It isn't doing any thing at the airframe, the lord mounts are picking up all the vibration......Just my perspective! See the cracks in the rubber? the inside is worse! you pick at the mount and it just falls...

Mit,
Do you rely think the vibration is due to the solid mounts? Just wondering.

Thanks AK that's what I was looking for.....

They don't appear to be listed in the Cessna IPC under optional equipment so I'm guessing they are not original cessna parts. Is there supposed to be an advantage to having aluminum? thanks Fred. Their not, I was hoping George or Bruce would be able to direct me in the right direction. I called Lum...

Looking for the bushings that attach the motor mount to the firewall...Bushing number 0550155 and Pad number 0550154 These are rubber mounts. I want the "float plane " numbers for the aircraft (aluminum) I have installed several, yet I somehow have lost the part numbers.....any help will b...

I agree with Del. 21,000 is cheep... although problems WILL show up, so.....expect at least another 12.000 in repairs......just my thoughts...

If I could push a "like button like on Facebook" I'd just agree with George....Hey an Idea for the forums...

A couple of years ago a doctor, a hangar neighbor, that has a very nice turbo Bonanza asked me if I would be able to do an oil change on his airplane. I allowed as I could likely fit it in to my schedule, so he asked about the cost. I quoted him $100/ hr. plus parts. He paled visibly, and wanted to...

$50/hr is about the going rate these days....unfortunately for the good CFI's. :? (The computer gurus charge more than that for teaching operators, PLUS the service call. Maybe that's because of the danger of electrical shock..?? ) 8O (The GM auto-dealers down here get $105/hr for mx work, and the ...

Thanks, Bruce...I just wondered. I've been doing this for my whole life, I would do it for nothing....I love it that much...Yet I do have to eat... I see that I'm in tune now...

Just wondering, after adding my last years bills up, I just raised my tail wheel instructor prices up from 45.00 to 50.00 Am I over charging? or is this right? Need input! (not you guys that say I should give my time away....HA)
