Larry Childs has agreed to produce a new bell housing at reasonable
   cost in his NC machine shop if there is a demand. It can be retro
   fitted to most
   existing aircraft for a more professional look. It is based on Al
   Gietzen's
   brilliant idea of mounting the starter using the Mazda stock bolt
   positions
   on the cool side of the engine. Last jpg.
   Weight will be low as Larry can take weight out in the final
   NC machining step. Jarrett Johnson did the Solid Works design.

   This greatly simplified the bell housing design and lowered the cost.
   We have been trying to get this done for the last 8 years or so.
   Finally looks like it is going to happen. If you order a new gear box
   from Tracy ask about deleting the adapter plate, spacers and long 10 mm
   bolts. Use this bell housing instead. I am sure Larry would be
   glad to wholesale them to Tracy if Tracy wanted them.

   Larry needs to know how many would be interested. If you want one
   please let us know.
