George,
Here are some stock 20B rear housing pics. As you can see, they are
identical to the FD series (1993+ rewtt) automatic tranny 13B
engines-more were made of the AT fd's for usa use than the standard
trannys. I believe the Cosmo 13B motors were also all like this. Please
note that at the 7-8 o'clock position the AT starter (misses a bolt
hole). Perhaps a plate could straddle this position.....

Thanks Mark,
I wasn't aware that the Cosmo was the same as the 20B, but that photo
cleared that up.

If I don't get a position form any of the chaps I will hunt down a Cosmo,
now I know it's the same and include that as a pad on the housing and people
can drill it if they need it.

It is interesting that the replacement bolthole is where it is and not more
on the LH side, it appears to be more between 11 and 12 o'clock, so that
should be OK.

A plate won't be needed as we have settled on a tube spacer for the normal
LH side bolt hole - it's primarily for the starter in that position anyway.
Now that's a last minute adjustment/ modification I hadn't accounted on.
