Sound advice. I think what I will do in that case (let me know if I'm on target here), utilize grade 8 studs to the proper length to synch down the face plate (instead of using those extendo nuts), use nut to synch down the timing cover, and have appropriate length spacers between the nut holding down the cover and the back of the mount plate. Clear as mud, right? Let me know if that sounds like a better plan.
Randy, triangulation...I'll need to think about that further. Looking at the pictures, would you have a suggestion?
Like most things on projects such as this...I think it will take a few hours but it always turns into about 5 times as many as I anticipate. :stunned:
