• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Hi Guys,

First; I've used the search function but can't really find what I'm looking for so I'm trying a new topic. I've also tried Google but couldn't find it there either.

My Pitts is down for some minor overhaul of magnetos, hoses, fuel servo and so in. I discussed with my mechanic and we decided that it's better to change the engine mounts while we have everything removed. They are about 20 years old. The engine is a IO-360-B1B that comes from a Beech Travel Air 95.

Do you know if I'm supposed to use the Lord engine mount that is for Pitts S1-S or for the Travel Air 95? Please, see links below for different part numbers at Aircraft Spruce:

See attached picture for how the mounts look now.

All the best,
Filip
