Could you provide some details about the bell housing please ? Is that
Tracy's PRSU ?  Any mods ?

Thanks John

My engine is Cosmo 13B. The starter straddles the bell housing and the
block
and is turned the other way under the spark plugs. I had to make 1/2"
adapter plate to accept Tracy's gear box. Tracy made 3" longer drive shaft,
but does not want to do them anymore? The holes on the flex plate don't
match Tracy's pulse dampener, so I made adapter - a disk with one set of
holes to match my plate, and one set to match the dampener.
That's about it?

The whole system looks neat.  Could you tell me how much the bell housing
and your half inch aluminum mount plate weigh?

Thanks

Thanks Doug. I hope it works well too? I'm terrible record keeper and don't
keep records on any weights. Just want to finish the thing. Considering the
large alum. Plate on the Tracy's redrive, the difference could not be that
great?

Diecast bell housing are around 10 or 11 pounds while Tracy's plate is about
8 pounds as I recall.
