That's what I did and it worked just fine.

However, I did discover (fortunately before I cut the hole in the new mounting plate) that the flywheel that was used in my old Ross 2.17 drive was 1" smaller in diameter than the stock 13B flex plate.  Apparently they used a 12A flywheel or someother make in my Ross drive.  I just happened to have a 13B flex plate laying around and I happened laid the one from Ross on it - it was clearly smaller!!.  Had I used that one as to cut my starter hole I doubt it would have worked for the starter.

perhaps you could make the hole quite a bit larger and then make an offcenter bushing that could simply be rotated to adjust the gear lash tolerance, since alignment on the other axis isn't critical.


That sounds complicated.  Wouldn't it be easier to just make one of the holes in the adapter plate a slot?  The starter would rotate a few degrees to bring it up tight.
