How's this Chrissi?

Paul, thats impressive. Oops, you might want the pocket on the other side of the beam for the
flywheel :)
I was looking at our mount and if you made new standoff blocks to replace Tracy's lower ones they
could just rotate a bit and be perpendicular to the beam. All this makes the assembly super rigid.
Yes, overkill for some but it is nearly free so why not do it?
Now if you could just get someone to do an FEA on the redrive plate pocketing based on the bolt
patterns and standoffs.

Somebody was supposed to be doing that FEA. But Jerry Hey hung 600 foot
pounds on it and it deflected way less than a degree. And that was
without the additional support at the bottom of the plate you
would get with your scheme.  I am totally confident that it 
is way more stiff than necessary. Much more confident than
I would be with any FEA. Here is a picture.
