Hi Remi,

After your eMail this morning with the photos of your rubbers you had me 
worried.

So when I got to the aerodrome this morning I straight away checked mine, which
you will recall I replaced with new in May.

First off my spinner is in exactly the right position, so looking good. Next I
removed the cowling and I could see that my rubbers are exactly as they should
be. Phew!!!!  I'm sorry that this doesn't shed any light on your problem though.

today. I hoisted the engine and surprisingly the rubber mounts did not
come back to their symetrical position. Obviously there is a problem with the
material (not completely cured?) which leads to a permanent deformation.  I
will probably re-install the original rubbers which are in very good shape, a
lot better  after 16 years and 1400 flight hours than the new ones after 10 
months/80
hours.
