RV-6A Engine Mount - Conical

I am considering fabricating a conical engine mount. Does anyone have a picture or detailed drawings with dimension of one that they would be willing to share with me? I am wondering if the conical mounts have any curved tubes. It appears that they do based on the plans, but I would like to confirm.
Thanks!

A conical engine mount on an RV looks something like this:

This is NOT an RV engine mount but the RV engine mount looks similar.
 
Refer to sheet #60 of the RV6 plans for conical mount dimensions.
If you wish, PM me with your email address, I can send you pictures of both 6 & 6A conical mounts.
 
Since Van's still offers the fuselage and finish kits for the 6/6A, they can probably sell you a conical mount.

They do, but with a 4 month lead time, and I am being rather impatient...

Thank you all very much for the information!
