Well thanks to all who responded. It did help me get some things straight in my head. More comments welcome.
29 years of working under safety taken to ridiculous levels has had its impact. To give you a hint, I can be fired for not holding onto the hand rails, when walking up or down steps. Ladders require three points of contact at all times, both feet and one hand or both hands and one foot.
So the Jag IRS is out for me, and a scatter shield around the clutch. Drive shaft enclosed. Rev limiter about 6500 RPM. What will Ernie think of me now? I must be a whimp.
