Tony,
I have a Cosmo bellhousing like Bullent's.  If you can use the info I
will get the dimensions from the face and measure the thickness.   I
remember that it weighs 13.0 lb.  Though, I'm not sure I understand why
the hole position is a problem.

Thanks Aubrey that would be great.

The problem with the hole location on the housing Is the holes on the bell housing are to close to the redrive so you can't use a standard bolt   you have to use allen bolts to bolt the plate to the bell housing. The mounting hole in the bell housing is .4375 (7/16) so when you drill the holes to mount  the plate, that the redrive is bolted to, I realized I wouldn't be able to bolt that plate to it, because the head of the bolt is to big to get that close to the redrive it would be like trying to get the bolt in at an angle it just won't go. So you have to use Allen bolts because the head is round and you can get it close enough to the redrive to attach the plate to the bell housing .  So the bell will work. I drew it all up last night in A-CAD and it worked the only thing is I may have to mill a very small radius in the side of the redrive where the bolts go into the bell housing. I know this is all very confusing. I'll try to get it into rhino so you guys can see what I see.
