Subject: Universal motor mount plate for Tracy's redrive?

Look carefully at hole 8.  It should NOT be the 7.164" radius.  Note that
there are two (very close) radius circles on the drawing.  An error like
this can create 1000's of dollars in junk parts. (voice of experience
talking here :-)

Paul,
I could open Tracy's file, so I have taken it and used the dimensions for
bolt circles, etc. to modify it into the motor mount version you have
sketched.  It is attached for your comments.

Tracy, Bill, is hole number seven in the right place?
What is it for?
I think we can cut the height of the 1/2 inch thick 6061 T6 plate down
to about 14 inches if we don't need that hole.

Tracy do the rest of the hole locations look OK.
We are getting ready to cut expensive metal here.

Ok here is a re-run on that message with Tracy's earlier comments added at the top. 
Looks like holes number  5 and 7 are old starter mounting holes no longer
needed there. The starter will be moved up to the exhaust side of the engine.

Tracy what is the radius for hole 8? Is 7.085 inch radius correct?

Anybody speak up if you need one of these. Also specify the center to center distance
needed on the rubber motor mount bushings. We will try to come up
with a number that will work for most. Looks like mine will be 29 inches 
center to center for my Kis Cruiser with turbo.
