Not the best photo but this is a boom cradle with adjustable height
Has a wide plate on the bottom to support the pipe that has another pipe inside to adjust height with series of holes and pin
The saddle for the boom is on a swivel and is just a piece of heavy iron strap (like 1/4 x 3) bent in the shape of the boom and has a piece of rubber glued to the inside
These belong to Jerry DeSantis and I have some better pictures somewhere but it's really pretty straight forward design
Oh, there is one for each side :-)

I'm looking for help with engine shock mount part numbers, for a 67' model. My parts manual shows shock mount kit# J-9613-31, but only for the front engine front mounts, and the rear engine aft mounts. The front engine aft mounts, and the rear engine forward mounts are not listed. So are all four engine mounts the same? They certainly don't look like it. I'd appreciate any help with engine shock mount part numbers...especially the front engine aft mounts and rear engine forward mounts.

I have a 1967 337B and the shock mounts are all the same type. I find the Barry mounts are significantly less expensive than the Lords. I have not noticed a difference in the service life.

You can find the part numbers in this table from Sky Geek.

Wow, thanks for the cheaper option...especially if it's the same quality. One final question, are these mounts sold individually or in pairs of two or four, for the $150ish?

Lord mount was having some kind of clearance sale. Might check with them too.
I used the Barry mounts on my rear couple months ago and they worked great too.

So, I ordered the Barry mounts instead...saved a little bit of cash. However, for an FAA PMA approved part I have to wonder. First, one set was missing the "spacer" that comes with the mounts. Half the mounts were labelled top/bottom, the other half did not...but it did at least have the part number on them...still it would seem there would be standarization in their manufacturing process. Next time, I'm buying Lords.
