I think it would work also, Bobby, but I would like to get around removing the PSRU if possible. I had thought that I might fabricate a jig that would look like a football goalpost. The two uprights would just fit the diameter of the PSRU and the center support would represent the radius of the PSRU and would be used to pick up the location of the center of the starter holes radius from the PSRU. This jig could then be rotated up to the side of the plate and the new hole location marked. If this worked, you should be able to drill the new holes with the plate mounted on the engine.

Remove the gearbox and dissemble the mounting plate. Purchase a clear piece of Plexiglas from Home Depot and match drill several of the 1/4" holes. Match drill the two starter bolt holes and mark the starter cutout. Rotate the Plexiglas to the desired location and use as a template.

Can it be done with the plate mounted?
