Paul and Larry,
As I suspected - what is the large missing side section?

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,
Not being an engineer, I am probably more concerned than most who have the
knowledge, however I trust you do.
Is this what engineers call an 'air bridge'.
