engine mount problem

[dreamerF16]

new to the sonerai build, I have a build I recently bought that has the x casting dimension engine mount, the problem is I want to add a starter and not hand prop, the casing I got is the diehl case that does not fit, I want to avoid cutting and re-welding the engine mount, on the great plains website there is an accessory case with a geared starter listed under the X-casting kit subsection, will that fit the x-casting engine mount pattern I have?

Talk to Scott Casler at Hummel Engines. He can provide a rear engine mount setup that will fit the original Sonerai engine mount, and provide a starter. He’s done it a few times.
