Chapter 1 TPD 1317e (c) A kit of parts is available to modify 6 cylinder models (only) so that they are suitable for installation with the flywheel end of the crankshaft above the pulley end by up to 5 o . An allowance has been made for an additional 3 o rise to occur in service, when climbing waves or on to the plane.

The brackets may be used to mount the engine directly on the engine bearers, but for all applications it is recommended that flexible engine mounts are used.
Slotted hole 36 x 17 (1.7/16” x 21/32”) allows sideways engine movement Figure 5 - Typical engine mounting brackets - refer to installation drawings for specific applications. The holes for the holding down bolts are slotted, to allow for some movement during the final stages of alignment. Where fine alignment is not necessary, for example when a flexibly jointed drive shaft is used, the bolts on all four corners of the engine should be positioned at the end of the slot - all either fully in or fully out. This will provide additional security in the fixing arrangements. Page
