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.)

Looks good,

I normally just use a main bearing but I might make one of these.

I clamp the flywheel with a pair of vice grips through the starter hole.. works a treat, so far.

this looks much better though Ima make me one.

_________________

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...

Ditto....but an old bearing shell falls out the first time you even look like moving the flywheel...this little unit wedges itself across two sets of teeth and up against the starter motor orifice

I never have spare main bearing shells. I re-use them, I am a tightarse.

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
