Paul,
    - Do you have a total weight for the mount as shown?
    - I've only been on the list for approx a month, so I'm sure this has
been covered well in the past:  Can you compare the advantages/disadvantages
of using the PSRU plate for mounting compared to Tracy's "new plate above
the oil pan" approach?  Feel free to just tell me how to find other
discussions on this rather than wasting your time with a rehash of old
territory.

PS--Thanks for all your work on this list.  I'm learning a lot.

The tubing you see is six pounds. The plate is four pounds heavier
than Tracy Crook's PSRU adapter plate at 15 pounds verses 11 pounds. 
We could cut some more weight out of the plate (large holes) if we made 
a half a dozen or so and paid for a hydra cutting computer program.
One could also pocket it out on an NC mill.

Leon is working on a cast bell housings that incorporates these rubber mounting
arms and adapts to Tracy's psru. We won't need the plate if Leon's bell 
housing works out. Hopefully it will be less than 15 pounds.
