Paul or Others,
I checked the lower mounting hole for the starter at the 4 o'clock position. It fits fine and no need to grind the snout of the
starter (that I can see) on the starter I have.
The only problem is the mounting holes on the starter are 11.5mm and the bellhousing mounting holes are 10mm.
A bit of slop there, I would like a neater fit.

No problem. Machine a thin sleeve and press it in. Or machine a slug, press it in
and drill it out. That way you can move the hole where you need it.

I noticed the holes in the auto flexplate also have 11.5mm holes (not the ones around the centre). For my own knowledge can
someone tell exactly what size bolt is used in the flexplate and what that is bolted to. I know it's the holes to mount Tracy's
damper blocks.

Paul the stiffeners (you suggested 4mm) must be tapered as well (for the foundry process) If I can start at 3mm and taper out to
base of 5mm allowing 1mm each side for the taper. Otherwise I will go from 4 to 6mm. I will do my best but don't want to push it
to thin for the foundry process.
George (down under)

Yes on the taper. What ever works for the foundry.
