Dave, we'd be interested in this mod as it would solve the issue of the crank sensor too, but is there a mount on the cover as well?

***** Hi Chrissi,  I assume you mean 3rd engine mount. After talking with Don Dunbar who has an RX8 in a Mustang 2. The RX8 does not
have the mount under the e shaft ala old 12A cover, nor the two strakes to weld to. However, after moving the alternator from the 12
o'clock position to the center left( aircon compressor,I think), you then have a convenient mount pad in the old alternator position,
(center high). Dave McC
