Abstract
An engine has an oil tank mounted to an engine wall with clevis ears formed on both the oil tank and a mount bracket secured to the engine wall. A link connects the mount bracket clevis ears to the oil tank clevis ears. The link has a pair of spherical bearings providing a connection allowing movement between the link, the oil tank clevis ears, and the link and the mount bracket clevis ears. The link is provided with a stop such that movement of the oil tank relative to the mount bracket in one direction is stopped when the stop is engaged.
