[ARC5] DM-24 Question

[Michael Hanz]

That's a reasonable question, Robert.  Yes, any of the later dynos would 
easily fit in the space available, but if you were averse to drilling 
any new holes in a rarest of the rare BC-224-A chassis, some creative 
design work would need to be accomplished for an intermediate adapter 
plate to serve as a plug and play interface between the two mounting 
schemas.  Not hard to do, but from what I can see there would need to be 
some 5052 aluminum bending in the process.
