There’s a cup bolted to the BH for the starter nose. The other position is for the 130 T FW.

I had to have a sleeve to take up the slop in one of my starter mounting holes. Using a Dakota style starter.

I posted about shield to block alignment in post #9. On the chance it wasn't done and possibly the mesh is to deep on the starter. Don't think it's possible but never know. Mine was off .014.

Thanks padam and thanks Fran, I will have to check these measurements when reinstalling.

Interesting. I guess "perfect" here is a bit subjective.
Did it ever receive a SFI sticker?

Thankyou, but I'm surprised, and I would be very surprised if it would receive one today, especially with on only two grade 8 1/2" bolts restraining the radial portion under the greatest load in a clutch/FW failure.

Actually, four bolts. Plus all the ones bolted thru the block saver. (Another twelve or so).
But I agree, it probably won't cert (header clearance mod).
My point was a response to his last paragraph of post one. National event, it might get looked at. Otherwise? Not a chance. Run it, race it if you want.
But as others have said, check centerline alignment for starter life.

Not to be picky, but my guess is the circumference 1/2" (4) bolts will be the first bolts to be load in an explosion, and since the 4 bolts of 2 pairs will all see nearly the exact same load, only two bolts need to fail in order for the other actual block mounting bolts can start to absorb real loads. The analogy here is similar in this case to adding tension to a rope, it doesn't matter how long the rope is, its always the weakest spot that will fail first, and in this case its IMO either of the two pairs of radial flange mounted bolts.
But your premise of will it fly, I totally agree, kind of like anybody ever have an inspector measure the distance for the location of a drive shaft safety loop (6")?
