Ed, by rotating the engine, you placed the
starter on the 9 oclock position, then you moved it back to the 6 oclock.
I suppose the radiator or something was in the way? I need to move the
starter to the 9 oclock because I would like to put the radiator on the bottom
if I can.
I had thought that the holes should be
pretty precise. I can tell by your pics that precision might be
overvalued. :>) What did you use to cut the large hole? A hole
saw?
Does anybody know where the discussion
that Tracy was
talking about with the Al Gietzen method would be
located?

Bill, don't know it this would work for you as I have a
"Plugs Up" rotary. However, I also had to move the starter
position when I replaced my Lou Ross 2.17 with Tracy's PSRU. This is how I did it
(photos attached). I basically plugged the original starter hole and
added a starter mounting plate. Its been working for over 7 years with no
problem. I made one of the starter mounting holes a slot for final
adjustment.
Many more photos - if interested, let me know.

Their web site says that they don’t
sell the plate by itself. You have to buy the entire mount.

Although it is true that Tracy does not offer it,
the Cozy Girlls include the side mount as standard on their mount. (CG
products). Their rotary mount also has more reinforcements. Additionally
everything they make is of top quality.Take a look at their site. There is a
section just for rotaries.

Bill,
I moved mine to the 9 o'clock position
(plugs side) by building a whole new plate. Since the bell housing bolts
locate the center position, it requires very accurate locating of the holes as
does the center hole which has a counter-bore for the seal. I cut the
plate and a good friend with a Bridgeport
did the holes for reasonable fee. Too bad Tracy doesn't offer this as an option.
