Hi Paul,
Here is a picture from an ad that someone on the BD-4 mailing list
found. The add is at: http://www.pipcom.com/~cowcam/ROSS.HTM
The best I can tell from this picture, Ross uses the flex plate very
similar to Tracy, but Tracy's coupler (the piece bolted onto the flex
plate) is quite different.
