Looking for thoughts on the psru bellhousing or adapter to the engine. Run something similar to an enclosed bellhousing that encases and closes off the flywheel, adapter, drive coupler.
Or a machined "engine plate" with spacers to mount the gearbox allowing cooling to the rubber damper, inspection of damper , inspection of flywheel.
Basically what is more desirable? Sealing off these components in a bellhousing or mounting the psru and these components being visable.
Few examples are autoflight and spg are enclosed cast bellhousing type. And the eggenfeller and geared drives are the plate type with exposed components.
Using an spg gearbox and not to pleased with the bellhousing provided. Working with them on it but was thinking being able to inspect would be nice and the plate type mount also gives provisions for engine mounts and not using engine as a stressed member mounting it with the gearbox pulling on the engines bellhousing end.
