Mark,
Haven't seen the picture, but I've gone from
needing to have exactly the right amount of stand off for the starter motor to
realizing you can mount just about anything to anything provided the gears mesh
and it has sufficient sizing - torque, power sun gear.
The starter snout is probably put into the hole
and supported by an appropriate internal spacer, which is itself bolted to
the plate.
Just a matter of imagination George (down under)
Michael,
I bought one of the ND starters and didn't use it because the snout was
too short to reach the ring gear. If you notice the picture titled
"Surpluscenter dot com12VDC NIPPENSENSO.jpg", you'll see that the starter is
mounted on the inside of the adapter plate. My guess is this was done to
get the starter gear to mesh with the flywheel ring gear. Maybe I should
try mounting mine that way too. Only problem might be getting
the big end through the little hole.
