Good Day,
I've been looking for over a week now but cannot locate a source of engine shock mounts--Diamond Aircraft Part Number 7850000. Does anyone have a contact, source, or magic bullet, please? The engine is a Rotax 912 F3.
Thanks, and fly safely,

Re: DA20-A1 Engine Shock Mounts
Hi Keoki,
I should have a set of these. The part is Megi 785000. Conti makes then now. It is a little bit of a PITA to remove the old ones btw. The maintenance manual doesn't detail the R&R process. It's up to the user to figure out...
Feel free to PM me. I replaced mine about 10 years ago. Due to shipping costs, I ended up purchasing more than I needed. I'll have to look up the price I paid and double check how many I have left. I know I have at least another 4 units.

John,
Just so you know - Keoki is the instructor at the high school where we donated our Katana. He gave my son his first lesson in the Katana many years ago (my son is now a pilot at a major airline). Appreciate any help you can give him.
Keoki is also a very experienced A&P. He repaired the Katana years ago after the nose wheel fracture and prop strike.
Cool video if you have time to watch it - https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/ ... 3b6511973f

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the update. I "know" Keoki from another DA20-A1 parts issue. Seems like a good guy, thanks for the link.
I emailed him directly.
I was at the hangar this weekend. I still have 6 of these rings. If anyone needs sourcing of these parts in the future, feel free to PM me or reply to this thread. I don't think there are too many of us Katana owners on this site.
best regards,
John
