Jeff I have seen a few PT 24's on ebay that I have missed out on but I haven't been up close to one to see what they did. I assume it had the same sliding plate that one I did that had a factory Briggs fitted. The base was different again because it had an extension in the casting and that had a rear sliding bolt hole in it so that it was away from under the Briggs motor. It looked like the PT exhaust slot was in the left hand side so this would mean the motor would be rear facing as per the FC's including the side pulls. When they fitted the PT this way on these they had the top cover without the fuel tank so the motor could be turned anyway and would not look wrong
