[QUOTE="uladk84, post: 603538, member: 25789"] Cheers guys for the info. I remember when removing the moustache bar, that only 2 of the 3 bolts were attaching it to the adapter plate (bottom and right ear bolts when looking at the pulley). Looking again, I have the proper engine case boss for the moustache bar on the left side only. I can't afford to source another case so I will have to stick with the adapter plate, but now I can at least take some of the load off the oil pump studs by drilling and tapping a bolt hole on the case left side. Would you (A) just stick a new bolt into the case boss through the left adapter plate ear, or (B) cut off the left ear and bolt the left side of the moustache bar directly to the case with a thick washer? I think (B) is a better option as 66% of the engine weight and energy will go through the adapter plate, while the other 33% would be supported directly by the bar. Thoughts? mike.s, thanks for the photos. Do you remember the tap size for the main galley? Can the plug be removed easily for clean purposes? I assume if it can go in, it can come out! [/QUOTE]
