Hi Guys,

Not sure what you are asking me to do.  Surely you don't want me to assist
you to put a rotary into a VW,  or a Subaru??  So can you fill me in
please??  I've lost the plot!  You know I come from another star system
(where thermostats and synthetic sump oil injection via metering pumps are
de rigueur,  rotaries don't take up as much room when lain on their sides,
 and Burnellis are Best) !! (sorry,  I just can't help myself!!!).

Seriously,  anything can be done.  Paul,  give me an isometric drawing with
some measurements on it,  and the optimal starter motor position and I will
talk to my bell housing and adaptor plate man Jeff.  I have to see him next
week anyway about my new "Plugs Up" 13B into Subaru WRX mission.  (Gotta
wake up these Dare swilling dudes to what a REAL engine is all about!).

Can't see why a real nice housing couldn't be made to fit between your
plate and the engine.  (I assume you want to retain the plate??).  We can
probably use some of the patterns we already have and just modify them.
 The Rotary to Toyota bell housing is way too deep by itself.  Give me some
figures,  and I'll see what Jeff & I can nut out!

Cheers,

Leon

There may be one or two dimensions on this that need correcting.
The center to center distance for my application between the two 2 inch diameter
rubber motor mount bushings is 29 inches.
