Hello folks. I recently purchased a 1957 Tripacer. Took a chance, but did a fairly thorough pre-ferry inspection with an A&P IA. It had been out of annual for 2 yrs. Just finished annual and feel that I may have came out ok.
Most major issues are aft left exhaust is making contact with the engine brace tube. So A&P said to replace the engine mount bushings.
Also, several fabric repairs needed where it's down to the bare ceconite in several places. Thoughts??

Also, I'm including a brief borescope clip of cylinder 2 for your observations/comments. Thanks in advance!
