Not being an electrical engineer I wonder why they don't make a retrofit
starter/alternator for our engines. Would save a lot of weight and
maintenance.
I understand that some new cars now have them and almost all of the garden
tractors too. There would certainly be a market and the technology is
there.

The only downside to up-sizing your mount bolts that I can see is maintaining edge
distance. If that is possible then you can do it I suppose.
A bigger question would be, have you heard of any problems with using -3 bolts
in this application? If it ain't broke, etc, etc. There are eight bolts after
all.

Thanks Larry!
I have been iterating on the designs a bit and "tried them on":

I have the old bed-style motor mount. I'm surprised that the lower four cor
ners (as opposed to the top center brace) fasten to the firewall with mere
AN3 bolts. I thought it was a mistake in my fourth-hand kit but that is wha
t the plans show too. What size bolts hold the newer ring-style mount to th
e firewall? Can anyone see any downside to stepping up to AN4?
