Has anyone built their motor mount where the rear of the motor is supported
via the bellhousing bolt locations?  I mocked this up thinking that I could
cut the spacers for the RD1C down and use the same locations.  Upon reading
the instructions from Tracy, he locates the plate that supports the drive
using two of these bellhousing bolt holes that have dowels pressed into
them.  My plan is to machine a steel bushing that fit over these bushings
and enlarge the holes on the motor mount arms to fit over it.  The part that
protrudes past the arm will be turned to the diameter of the dowel so that
Tracy's spacers will line up with the dowel locations.  That way the plate
that supports and aligns the drive does not carry motor mount loads.  Does
this sound OK?  Thanks for any help.
