A-65 to C85-12 Engine mount

Post by captainpat »

If I go to a C-85-12 on my A65 Champ, will it require a new engine mount or will the C-85 bolt up to the stock mount? I would envision using one of the light weight starters and a total loss electric system.

I thought this has been asked before but couldn't find it in the threads.

Thanks,

Pat,

I believe that one of the B&C or Skytec starters will fit if its on the stock mount but cannot guarantee it. Its tight but believe that there is enough room.

Same engine mount. You can bolt the C-85 and go.
