I'm still not sure what data you are in need of here George.  I've sent
the
adapter plate drawing a couple of times (same one Paul published here
many
times).  If it is the hole pattern for the gear housing you need, it is
a 12
hole circle (1/4" holes) with a 5.875" diameter.  I use nuts on the back
side as Paul said. You may have to use nut plates since the bellhousing
does
not give good access to the back side.

I am planing on cutting a bunch of 2.5 inch holes were possible to cut the
weight.

Tracy,
Thanks for the advice mate, I had considered the possibility of a nut
plate - it does seem logical.

The PSRU mounting holes had me a little confused as I saw a couple of
different drawings, showing slightly different positions and didn't know for
sure if the PSRU had to be placed exactly ( if there was an up down, left or
right).

I didn't want to stuff-up at this late stage!!

One drawing showed a mounting hole at 12, 3, 6, 9 O'clock etc and another
showed  it at 'each side' of 12 3,6,9 O'clock etc.

Since it is your drawings, I will assume that it is equally spaced at
5.875" - each side of 12, 3, 6, 9 O'clock etc.

Thanks again for the confirmation.

Equally spaced 5.875 bolt circle. Exact orientation not critical.
