Paul,
Bigger picture as requested.

The wire rod is to demonstrate centre;  I worked out centre from the

front, drilled a hole, then placed the auto flexplate (with

turned centre piece) at the desired height (distance from the motor to

ring gear position - and then checked position for

clearance+shrinkage factor. Like I said it's as good as I can get it to

perfect. of course centre can be moved down a couple of

millimetres if need be i.e. tolerances are too tight.

I think that lower front face needs some stiffening !!!

Looking good George.
Much better picture. Here is my suggestion for a couple of internal
ribs. Red! The green hole is roughly where the starter goes. Of course
you will also need recesses for the bell housing mounting bolts.

Paul,
Thanks- didn't think of those positions for stiffeners. can pick-up
stand-offs for mounting as well.
