Anybody have the coordinates, position or dimensions
for this bolt? Larry and Jarrett, we need to add provisions for this
bolt. I think it is the same on the RX8 rotor motor.
We could just beef up the whole flange in this area.

It will make Al happier too.

Paul,
I just had that BH in my hands last weekend, to check that very position.
The Polar Angle is approx 101.25 degrees and is on the same radius as the majority of the BH mount holes, which is 182mm. Only the lower LHS is 180mm
This is the Cosmo End Housing.

BTW I sent these all before, I got a feeling you don't trust my
measurements. It's true their by hand and not as accurate as CNC, however
converted to approx X,Y coordinates;  X =179mm . -ve Y= 35mm. That should be
within + or - .25 of a mm.

They are fine George. If we don't get a Cosmo or 3rd gen rotor housing
they will do fine. I have an RX8 rear end housings. As soon as it is
off the engine we will stick it in the mill and use the DRO to measure
it.
