No mate, its on top of the flywheel, just in line approx with the stud that holds the fan assy on...:)

In regards to the bases, Yes thats correct. This is why I asked you which base you were using, the ebay one or the earlier one...

The later base in your ebay ad(and Jacks ad) only came with the 7F and 3.6 HP 125cc Victa 2s

The 98cc midget and 70cc 3g used the earlier longer bases like the one you put up in the Pace thread....
