Paul, I've spent time figuring the vertical position of the MM Bkts, and for
the life of me can't figure out what the problem could be.

Here's what I've interpolated....The lower centerline placed 77mm (3-1/32~")
from the center of e-shaft represents the distance to the top of your MM
plate (Came up with it by studying a picture of you KIS installation, I
noticed your starter position is at 3:00 and the TOP of your MM plate is
approximately inline with the center of the Starter's bottom mtg hole). This
is what's what confuses me,  since this allowed you enough room to use
Triangular bracing on each side of the engine, and as you can see, on this
Bellhousing a bracket can be mounted 27mm (1-1/16") further lower than
your's, or it can even be lowered further overhanging within guidelines of
course....And/or the 1-1/4" OD Cluster tubing's length can be increased,
again within guidelines. Obviously, moving it up is no problem what-so-ever
as shown on the left MM.

This is a LOTS of flexibility.....Or perhaps, I'm missing something very
obvious??

Butch

It looks fine.
I'll do a 3D of your set up as soon as I get time. Send me some dwg files
or what ever you are using so I can load your bell housing drawings
into Rhino.

BTW spend most of the day bolting your trailer together. I will only use
the front half. I also moved the wheels forward as the dyno causes
the firewall to over hang the back of the trailer. Pictures
in a day or so.
