I am not sure of the maker, but there is a Stearman 450 mount on eBay right now. Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the response, thats a rigid agricultural mount. Those mounts were primarily used for restricted sprayers. The support tube system on them is symmetrical and was built to not run a generator on the 985.

The Serv-Aero #2033 mount I'm looking for uses a BT-13 style mounting ring and 4 rubber isolators and solid mounts to the firewall. They will also have a Asymmetrical support tube system to allow for mounting a generator. They are out there but its a matter of just finding one.

Here are a few pictures of the Serv-Aero #2033 mount being used. The way its made you can pull and engine removing 4 bolts at the BT-13 style right which incorporates 4 isolator bushings. This picture demonstrates that, the other two you have to look closely to see the rubber mounts at the BT-13 style ring.

In the picture below if you look closely you can see how the asymetric top portion of the mount allows the option to run a generator or alternator, this one in the photo is blue and sits almost vertical when the mount is attached to the firewall. This #2033 mount was also sold with a Cowling kit as you can see the extra supports.

picture of another #2033 mount funny installed.

There is a Serv-Aero mount currently on Barnstormers along with several others, but it looks to be the #1022 mount with rubber isolators mounted at the firewall.
