I'm working with a friend mounting a Model A motor in his Piet. The plans callfor drilling 4 of the pan bolts and installing a 5/16" bolt thru the wood enginebearer, thru the cast flange, and securing with a spring and jamb nut on theflange side. His motor does not have enough clearance between the center ofthe bolt and the motor casting on the left side to allow for the nut and spring.Has anyone has this problem and what was your solution? The clearance holefor the bolt has all ready been drilled. Thanks,StuSent from my iPad________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 00:44:03 -0800

Stuart,I have a Piet with the Ford Model a engine and the bolts fit just fine albeit a little tight. the trick is to compress the springs to get the bolt on, after that its a cinch. I have pictures attached. Hope this helps.Jack> On Nov 13, 2014, at 2:04 PM, Stuart Brown wrote:> > > I'm working with a friend mounting a Model A motor in his Piet.
