I have just swapped out the bell housing for a Quick Time Bell. Also I am using a very small two disc clutch and a button fly wheel. The fly wheel is the same size as the clutch (7.25"). This forces me to use a automatic flex plate for the ring gear and starter. When I installed the flex plate, fly wheel and clutch the Flex plate has only about 1/4" clearance from the engine side back plate of the bell housing. Now when I installed the starter the bendix gear in engaged with the ring gear of the flex plate. the starter is a power master that i use with a traditional fly wheel. Can I space the starter with a spacer between it and the bell to get proper alignment for the starter? This spacer would have to be 5/8" making the base of the starter 1". Any help would be appreciated.
