engine crating supports

[prkaye]

When Aero Sport ship engines, they are held up in side the crate by big steel L-brackets. I am borrowing another builder's create and supports to ship my engine back. Can anybody point me to a photo or diagram showing where on the engine these L-backets attach, and what hardware is needed?
Thanks!
Phil

Here's the front and back of my engine as shipped from Aerosport -- caveat, this was back in 2010, but perhaps it'll help you out.
There are spacers over the lower crank flanges, between the L-bracket and the flywheel, and rubber blocks between the mount flanges and the brackets in the back. Regular hardware-grade bolts all around, paired with nylon locknuts in the back.
