Cool George. For the new people this fits Tracy's gear box.
Don't panic on the weight people. Just cut or machine away what
you don't need. Looks like the starter will go on either side.

Demand will depend somewhat on price.
What is the price for the raw casting?
Cost of shipping to the US?

Shipping would be cheaper if you can find someone to distribute
these George. Tracy Crook would be the logical guy.
