<DIV>I watched & admired Bob's research & testing carefully. After the
observations and a few unsuccesful attempts of my own I got down to a big
styrofoam drink cup that had been fibreglassed (inside & out) to carry the
nose ring. I never went any further with it because it was evolving towards
unreasonable complexity. </DIV>

<DIV><STRONG> Yes, I did know what you meant, but you could do one point
at bottom and two at the sides of the cylinder head keeping all at the same
radius from the crank center line, wasn't trying to be critical, three points
are a very good structural means and saves a little weight.</STRONG></DIV>
