Avcon/ Williams STC motor mount isolator alternatives.

Post by abushey123 »

Hello every one. For those looking for a less expensive alternative to the J-3804-28 mount, the following part numbers can be used. All Lord mounts use a jelly spacer with the squish tube which helps with dampening on startup. This is not necessary if using a carbon propeller. aka Newton’s third law makes the prop spin faster rather than the plane feeling the torque of engine start.
J-3804-28 1200 lb/in shear springrate ——- stock option.

J-3804-31 1400 lb/in

J-3804-37 1650 lb/in

J-3804-39 1750 lb/in

J-6545-1 1200lb/in This using a different type of isolator.

Barry mount options:
94110-40. Same as J-6545-1

94110-02 same as J-3804-28 minus the jelly spacer.


Cheers and happy shopping!!

I wish I had this info a couple of months ago. Those Lord mounts are now $500 a piece! I just installed them today.

typo fixed

My contents list for my Avcon conversion shows the mounts as J7402-5

Anyone shed any light on this? Thanks

You mean J7402-5?

It would be nice to know the differences between these!

Can you post a picture of that page? My 1973 Avcon paperwork shows the J-3804-28. It would be nice to have another option.

Thanks. You must have Bush conversion STC SA421CE. It's basically the same as Avcon SA806CE, but is not identical. Engine mounts are different.

Actually I do have the Avcon STC and not the Bush. This PDF....not sure if I found it on here or online somewhere or in a thumb drive for the plane. But hey, it's another engine mount option as you head down the rabbit hole.
