Replace Rv6 engine mount & legs with RV7 engine mount & gear legs

RV6 & 7 legs are the same pt#s
RV6 plans depict the dimensions to weld up an engine mount but if you went with a pre-fabricated mount, you would probably be buying a 7 mount.
Note- that if you have a 6 that had self fabricated mount, there is a good potential that you would have to deal with mount holes in the firewall that don't line up if trying to fit a pre-fabricated mount.

& yes, I've done this.

RV9 legs & mount are different.

I own a latter series -6, and AFAIK the engine mount and legs are the same as on the -7.
One advantage is that the reinforcement gussets are already welded on :)
