Perry came up with a neat trick for mounting his starter.
He used a way cut down manual bell housing as shown here.
Perry of course does not use a redrive. He uses a direct drive
prop extension off the manual tx flywheel.

If people are interested in this starter location with my motor-mount
redrive plate let me know. I think I can come up with a spacer
designed  to work with Tracy's redrive that will mount the starter here.
The trick is to use a flat head metric screw which McMaster-Carr sells.
The starter hangs down a bit lower than I would like but it still should
work with a radiator mounted below the engine.
