MTW 75 Canister Mount

[stangflyer]

Hey everyone... I need a little advice or suggestion please. Apparently the canister mounts I "thought" I had lined up for the PAU 300 are larger than what I remembered. I am in need of a canister mount for the MTW 75 canisters. The cans measure about 2-3/4" in diameter. The can tunnel in the 300 has ample room for pretty much anything available. Anyone give me a suggestion on what would be the best fit for something like this? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks...

Sounds like you have the MTW-75k canisters which are shorter (245mm) but larger in diameter (70mm or about 2-3/4"). The regular MTW-75's are 55mm in diameter and 355mm in length. I have used the MTW-75k canisters in several planes and used two of these plywood mounts that Desert Aircraft sells ( also available from Chief Aircraft).

Get some 3/8" spruce, and form a "box" for the can. Don't forget to add the silicone bumpers.

It wont restrict hot air escape either. I did this before on a twin set up, and it worked out pretty good. Wish I had pics, but this was 13 years ago when I did this.

Here are some pictures of an installation MTW-75K canisters using the plywood mounts from Desert Aircraft mentioned above:

I used the mounts mentioned above. You may have to cut them in half for the proper spacing, they are on my 3W-110 powered PAU Extra

Got it handled. Twin double mounts installed in fuse and MTW 75's in place. All exhaust connections made. Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.
