Engine mounts..?

[cazyp]

Hi
The metal bracket that hold the air box to the wing has sheared in half.
The airbox now jiggles around a bit!
The metal 'looked' ok - no rust etc - do you think the engine mounts may be work causing this to move/snap?
Happened to anyone else?
Many thanks

doubt it, the pipe that connects the airbox to the engine should be flexible enough. unless you have the stiff nasty silicone replacement type.

The original pipe wore through - so yes I have a nasty stiff silicon pipe

you need to remove the inflexible blue pipe, its a rigid connection between the engine (constantly moving) and the body (air box). The pipe should be flexible to compensate engine movement on acceleration and deceleration.

Cheaper and easier to sort than engine mounts, so result there for you.
