LORD mounts from LORD Corporation set the standard for elastomeric engine mounts more than 50 years ago. In fact, they defined it.
Today, genuine LORD mounts continue to prove themselves at all levels of general aviation. That's why most major OEMs spec LORD mounts from LORD Corporation. And, why an overwhelming majority of service shops use only original LORD mounts.
Sandwich assemblies of natural rubber and specially blended synthetic compounds bonded to 2 metal plates. Normal installation requires 4 assemblies, each consisting of 2 sandwich mountings and 1 spacer. The spacer are designed to the correct length to pre-compress each mounting to guarantee proper positioning of the mountings.
Set consists of eight bonded sandwich mountings equivalent to Lord Mount No. J-7402-5 and four 4130 steel spacers with mounted rubber shoulder. Use with dynafocal engine mount rings using 2-3/4" I.D. retainer cups. Used on many home builds including the Defiant and Long- EZ 50402-5 w/4 spacers.
Note: Mounting hole is 7/16" and requires AN7 bolts for installation.
The Frekote 770-NC synthetic mold release I ordered has a 6-month shelf life from the factory. The can I received on 8/25 was set to expire on 8/31 according to the date printed on the bottom of the can. I called and sent a photo of the can bottom and they said it should have been taken off the shelf a month earlier, so they will send me a good can when new stock arrives without sending the out of date can back.
I appreciate the fast delivery and them taking care of the issue, but it means you could be buying product that has only one month of shelf life remaining. Call before you buy and have them confirm the expiration date of their stock and if it is less than works for you, work out delivery from fresh stock or negotiate a discount.
