Lycoming style engine mount accessory = cover

I am investigating casting an accessory cover to = replace the stock Mazda cover. So far I have roughed out a mock up in = foam. With the following objectives:

Replacement of stock Mazda cover & water = pump housing in one piece with integral filler cap.

To be able to bolt straight onto stock Lycoming = ( conical ) engine mount. Dynafocal possible would depend on = demand.

Relocate water pump & alternator to same = unit

No distributor drive height problem by deleting distributor (crank Sensor)

Weight saving about 15lbs

No new aircraft engine mount to fabricate weight = saving and cost saving for many existing aircraft from 0235 to = 0360.

Same thrust line as Lycoming =

As this is still in the design and fabrication = stage.

I would be interested to have input from anyone who is potentially interest to asses demand and my design = goals are on the right track.
