Butch,
Join the club I'm in the middle of bathroom renovations - yep it's a do it
yourself-a.

Yep George, you're right, I mirrored the Boss, sorry for the confusion.

This

should clarify it.....I've also included a Bottom view for reference.

George in reference to strength of the Rib supports: You want the larger

mass

of material on the right hand side as shown. This makes a stronger

structural

support for our application (Buckling resistant), which is what we want,

the

Boss is stationary (Fixed) and the outer part of the Ribs/Bellhousing is
being Pulled (Dynamic). This subjects the thinner xsection of the Rib to
Tension loading and the thicker to compression loading simultaneously,

the

perfect combo. If this is what you're referring to, then I believe your
thinking is backwards....See attached.

Butch

I am totally lost on this aspect Butch -do you mind if I contact you
directly on this matter.
