Hi Guys;

George, I apologize for disappearing for a while but I had to go out of town
and do some stuff....
Anyhow, I'm up to par and the Bellhousing and Pattern drawings are
practically finished with the exception of a few Cats & Dogs that are still
open.

Here's one of those:-----The Bellhousing's 8:30 mounting bolt.

The attached shows a very easy and light way of dealing with this by means of
a Webbed Boss...Since my original comment of the mounting hole not being
needed still holds, this position can be used as an alternate place to mount
the Starter by simply cutting the web of the Boss and removing it all-
together...Since a hole is needed for bolt access, I suggest Tracy's Starter
hole be machined in both locations as the base point for other Starters to be
fitted in (Die Ground) as Paul has suggested, the bonus is: the unused one
will act as a lightening hole :)
George before you jump in, I'll beat you to the punch and state, that an
extended Boss and or Webs to the bottom of the channel is overkill and only
serves to add weight, expense and hinders Starter mounting hardware
placement ;)

Next in line will be the 6:00 o'clock Starter mounting position for those
that favor Cheek mounted rads and the Narrow Pushers, as Scott graciously
pointed out.
