Anyone have any idea what this mount is off of?

The engine side is Lycoming O-350 or O-435 - old school with the 5th engine mount on the sump.
Don't know what the airplane side is, but that should narrow it down some.
Top is to the left of the picture.

Looks like a Stinson L-5 mount but I'll have to look at the hangar tomorrow to be sure.

I suspected it was L-5, but I've never seen a mount off the airplane. If it is L-5, it should have a part # starting with 76. BTW, if it is L-5, I need one for my new project.

It's L-5.

There should be a phenolic data tag on the right side of the mount. If it is missing there should be two rivets still there about 1 3/4" apart (from memory). Nice mount.
