For those using Tracy's re-drive, and find a problem with the 6:00
starter position, here are some pics of another place to put using the
existing mounting bolts - about a 9:30 position.

The 6:00 position hit a cross member on my mount; and I wanted to get it
away from my exhaust going by on the other side.  Very carefully found
the new center point for the starter shaft; machined a new mount hole;
drilled one new bolt hole in the starter mount flange to get the right
bolt spacing; cut off the bottom of the adapter plate.

Good idea drilling that extra hole in the starter mounting flange Al.
Actually the old flange could be cut off completely and a new flange
could be tig welded on with the holes matching two of the bell house
mounting bolts.

Looks great Al!  Would you consider selling a template of the mod?  What
starter are you using?
