Hi, Thanks everyone,
Looks like there are a few more 24's about. They definitely fit those factory PT's north south. They are using a Utility cowl but the slots are crossways. Oh well I have got it wrong. I thought it looked better the other way with the slots North South like every other PT. I would love to see their sliding plates although the base is probably different.
I did originally look at that way of fitting mine but its not easy as the slots seem to line up almost perfectly with one of the PT bolts, the long one. I think you could probably do without that long one as there are still three others and they would be fine. The pulley would be interesting as well.
I was hoping for a factory look for this conversion but it seems I will be disappointed. They are grey now not orange as well and I am certainly not going to paint over that excellent orange paint they use.
I have gone too far now with my first attempt at a sliding plate. I will try it and see how it goes. I'll keep you all posted, Maybe even a photo. I have the engine sitting on the base with the new sliding plate now. I think it looks fine. Still waiting on lathe tools for the pulley.
That other 24 looks good too. A top starter engine with the same sliding plate as mine. Well worth $100 I think. Where is 2210? No where near Brisbane or Eden that's for sure.
All the best
Jeff
