Hi Will,
That is correct, the holes in the Rotax ring mount are 11mm, 10mm in the Europa
mount, and 10mm bolts......... not clever ? I put a thin 10mm steel washer 
between
the Europa mount and the Rotax ring mount, prevents the ring mount from
getting chafed. Put grease or thick oil on the bolt shank, they are not plated
?
Cheers,
Nev.

Tony
 Thanks
 Sadly thats not the problem...its the rotax supplied ring mount (suspension 
frame
in rotax parlance) which has 11mm holes and should have 10mm holes...
 I thinking I got the wrong part number...maybe there are two different 
frames...

Gidday Will,    
    
Have you inserted the short steel reinforcements in the fuselage engine frame,
because if you have the wall thickness has now increased dramatically, and the
attachment forces now are also shared by the bolts holding them in situ, as I
vaguely recall. I'd be surprised if you couldn't open them out.    
    
Regards

Yup....the rotax ring mount has an 11mm hole and the engine mounting frame is 
10mm.
       
Can anyone help?

I am mounting the rotax ring mount to the engine mounting frame using the 
M10x110
hex head bolts.         
         
          
         
         
The issue is that the M10 bolts have quite a lot of slop in the rotax ring 
mount,
my guess is that the rotax ring mount holes are about 1/2 to 1 mm larger than
the bolts.         
         
          
         
         
Is this normal?         
         
          
         
         
The bolts fit perfectly in the Europa engine mounting frame.          
         
         
          
         
         
thanks
