Kevin;

 

That is the 20B rear housing.  Tracy’s adaptor plate does not use the 12:00 hole Mark mentioned as you can see on the first attached photo.  The adaptor plate bolt that has nowhere to go is the one I now use as the bottom bolt for the starter mount.  You may be able to see on the second photo, I made a bracket from steel angle that bolts to the two starter mount holes; and then drilled for the adaptor mounting bolt (nut required).  It also is one of three bolts for my engine mount plate.

 

BTW; for those who may not have seen this before, it was my solution to the 6:00 starter position that didn’t work for me.

I guess I was confused by all the discussion on the ACRE list about bell housings and figured I would need one.  I have mostly completed an intake and decided to let the turbo wait until phase 2, but still am building my belly scoop and doing the easy to solve sheet metal stuff.  I need to start learning about the redrive.  at one point someone was ready to try flying the electric prop on his plane and then, nothing more was said about it.

    here's the photo again.  I need to dig up the CD Bruce sent with the engine and find out what I actually bought.

----- Original There is only one bolt on Tracy’s adaptor plate that does not go on the 20 rear housing, and that is at the starter position. No too tough to make a bracket the accept that bolt.

BUT, I don’t have that photo anymore; but I think Bruce put on a 13B rear housing – is that right, Kevin?
