Thanks bigted, I did look at putting it on a Victa base but tried it in the normal later type position but as you would know without the spacer ring the fuel tank will not fit. I hadn't considered turning the motor sideways and it would look a little odd seeing this motor has the curved plastic cowl top. I will see if it will fit on one of the early Rover Rapid side throws I have here. They seem fairly shallow and not having the catcher chute the tank should not foul the tank
