Pretty sure you are asking about engine mounts for the Nelson 36c engine. I need a pair or two also. I have one N36c engine with the back plate with mounting forks, but this last run of new engines Henry did not have any of that method made.

The guys up in the northwest fly the N36c a lot so you may try an ad in the FlyingLines "Flying Flea Market"

http://flyinglines.org/fleamarket.html

I have one set of the aluminum mounts I took to a local machinist to reproduce a few sets for me, I guess I need to go get them back as it has been over 6 months and I suspect he just never has the time to fit my very small project in

I am in no hurry as I do not think I will ever be good enough to compete....BUT if I needed a set I would start asking folks up in the northwest like

Tony Hubber
Jeff Rein
Don McKay
Ken Burdic

That link I sent above does have a forum you can join and while not a bunch of activity, a few of those I listed follow and post there

I expect Mike Londke will offer suggestions here in a bit

                 Hello Patrick, I see you have a few options offered.  If no one comes through for you, I have 2 types of  mounts. The Nelson uses a .590 spacing for the lugs on the engine. This fits a variety of engines actually and it also fits all Fox Combat Specials. I have another mount which is known as the "Flipper" mount which basically has a step in it. When both are opposed ( Step down) the mount fits the OS FX.25 and Japanese engines. When flipped over (Step up) it fits the wider big block engines. The first mount would be $15 plus shipping and the "Flipper" would be $20 plus shipping.

Tony Huber just finished a run of Nelson mounts. Jeff Dawson has some and I suspect Jeff Rein will be selling them too.
