It looks great Paul but I would like the starter on the other side to get
totally away from the turbo exhaust.  Also, a longer (deeper?) version for
canards.  We are always trying to get the prop further away from the wing
wake.

We looked at this a while back. It is not practical to put the starter on
the other side for several reasons. One: The starter bolts interfere and the
starter housing interferes with the end housing casting. Put a heat 
shield around the exhaust to reduce radiation to the starter.

This is made to fit Tracy's input shaft and PSRU which
is 3.55 inches (aft in your case) of the engine rear end housing
bell housing bolting surface. 
Just use a stock prop extension on Tracy's psru to get the prop further aft.
