Paul and Larry,
As I suspected - what is the large missing side section?
George (down under)

George,
The side section is where there is no mounting position on the housing and
allows inspection of Tracy's flywheel mounted isolation bushings. FEA

showed

no negligible loss in strength with this cut as long as the large corner
radius is left in.  Saves weight as well.
Larry

Larry, Very Cool!!! I want one!!!
