Has anyone adapted a Rotax 277UL/277F to Electric Start using a GPL Unit or other Type of Electric Start? Any photos, Info on how you did it?

I have a 277UL Free Air Case, Crank, Cylinder, Head, etc. Also got a Jet Ski Starter same Type as GPL used.

Seen these photos of one done many years ago, but no details were given, and the photos were not very clear.

I believe there were (3) different GPL Housings, I found the D4 drawing on the net, and made this Drawing using a 380 Case, but I haven't printed it out on Clear Transparency Paper yet to see how it fits on the Case. I don't have the Free Air Housing yet for the 277UL.
