Thanks for the tips gentlemen and I'll look into the avenues suggested.
I was wondering if Victa had used a bit of lateral thinking and used an engine mount that was already in production!
I agree that the Airtourer is a great aeroplane. My daughter loves the lightness and responsiveness. Like having wings on your shoulders she reckons!
Edited to add:
Re: Piper engine mounts, the Airtourer is stressed to +6 / -3g, do you think the Piper mounts would be stressed to cope with these loads? Maybe they would if the mounts are designed for a 180hp engine and only used for a 150hp engine (same mounting bolt pattern for the O-235, O-320, O-360 engines)
