This is sort of the "inbetweener" method between the plans and what Bill R. did on his most recent Piet. He mentioned he had a dickens of a time getting the holes to line up, apparently the distance between the holes just making that a tougher chore than when they're very close together. It's possible it was just because you have to line up 4 holes rather than three and you have to get the increased length hinge pin parallel to the base to prevent binding. His holes were probably two inches, he used strap with the ends bent up, a very similar idea requiring no welding and having increased bearing area as well.

For the reasons I mentioned. For a cowled application Al would probably be OK, but for a loosely cowled engine, an Al muff might lose too much heat to provide sufficient carb heat. Your mileage may vary....
