I have a fairly complete 1938 Taylor Young. I have two ways that I can go on the rebuild.
1. I can look for an A-40, and a motor mount in good running order. With that I'll have a really neat T-Cart. If some one out there knows where I can get one let me know.
2. I can find or have constructed a 22 Hook Road Motor Mount under the owner produced/provided part and the accompanying STC. I have the Drawing, the STC and the approval to use the STC from the owner. In that case I need the 22 hook road mount. If anyone knows where I can get one Let me know. Since it is not likely that I will find that critter short of stealing one, I think that I should have one fabricated. Stealing one would be tantamount to locating and stealing the hope diamond.
As you know finding a welder who will participate in producing the part is a challenge in its self. By Now you should be able to see where I'm going with this. Does anyone know where I can have a 22 hook road motor mount made to the drawing provided by the STC?
Ok! if that was not fuzzy enough, let me run this past the tribe. The folks from whom I purchased this model A appeared to be going in the direction of a combination of a 337 and the hook rd STC to get the open cowl look without destroying the original cowling. Soooooooooo, they had a boot cowl and bottom cowl off a luscomb and the A-65 from that same luscomb. It seems to fit really well and I presume that I have to fabricate the top cowl.
If these are enough clues to get you interested in responding to this owner in need of Trible consult, I have my head down and I'm listening for all input.
Perhaps a talented T-Craft builder from across the pond might be willing to fabricate the mount or know someone who would.
Experimental is not out of the question on this rebuild.
