You will need some flat strap steel 4.5cm by 3mm.... bend it thus....
The ears are about 1cm long and the two arms of the vee about 4cm each.
Across the ears (centre to centre of the strap) measures 5.5cm.
It works a treat

Looks great. I will keep it in mind.
(I usually just stick a ½" sidchrome set spanner in the ring gear. It never pops out.) |

I bought one of these off ebay.... a bit picey compared to a bearing shell... but as I work alone mostly - I know it ain't going to slip ... bolts onto starter motor holes...

Well I was creative and built this, All with a 9" grinder, drill press and an arc welder 
I even angled the edges so it would slot in nicely
