Concise and coherent explanation.

In fact, my only objection (at all!) is in reference to the VW engine
in the last paragraph.

There are several accessory cases available for the VW.
Most are single ignition setups, but I've seen at least one that
supported dual mags.

Thanks, Gary.
Ya done good.

Doh! I knew I shouldn't have digressed g.
I've never seen an accessory case for a VW beyond the Great Plains variety
which capped off the flywheel flange to accomdate a webbed ring gear for a
starter and crank driven mag. Nothing affected by deck height using this
arrangement. But if someone out there makes an accessory case for a VW
with a gear driven dual mag set up, then that is a different story and I
stand corrected.

Gary
