Back to the extra block studs

[Charles P]

I have a rearward facing starter in place of the bacon slicer type on my mag engine - this is a direct fit and just requires a starter button.

Using one may give you more room.  Mine is fitted because I find it gentler on the fasteners.

I have the same, for similar reasons. 
However if you look at the picture near the top of this thread you'll see how the stud encroaches on the starter motor casting's mounting area. And of course, the starter castings aren't exactly strong before you start grinding bits off!
