Engine Mount

Post by bofathillroad »

I’m not sure I am posting this in the right place so I apologize if I’m wrong. I own a C120 with an 0200 Continental. The cowling is a very tight fit and I’ve heard that there is an alternate engine mount for 0200 engines setting the engine back and inch or so. Can anyone help me with this?

The engine mount is the same as the 140A, pn 0451111. It is not possible to mount the O200 on the original mount without either modifying the cowling or using adapters that fit the conical mounts from the -12 engines. It would be more than just "very tight".

Looking to purchase an engine mount for a Continental 0200 PN 045111 typically used on a Cessna 140A. Thanks

I think this is a typical C85 mount for a Cessna 120. If you have this and it has an 0-200 on it then that would be interesting to see how it was accomplished, particularly at the mount/engine juncture.
