I am so encouraged about the ability of my foundry to cast
thin sections I decided to design a cast bell housing.
Anybody interested in a combination bell housing and
motor mount. One advantage is the mounts are moved back
a couple of inches to get them closer to the engine/psru/prop
CG.

Tom are you interested in doing the pattern?
The cost over a motor plate would probably be near a wash.
The material alone for a motor plate runs about $100.
Then there are those long 10 mm bolts that Tracy supplies
as well as the 1/2 inch plate spacers. Tracy could sell this thing
so perhaps he could make it optional.

Neat. If you do do it, let us know.
