Never suggested that you discard the flywheel, only the pressure plate and clutch disc, I said to machine a plate drill your holes to fit where the pressure plate once resided, weld a stub on center for the V-Pulley. Obtaining that bolt pattern from the pressure plate would be easy so why not stay with the same diameter and use the old holes save yourself some work.

Ok, then I'll toss it along with the seized engine I pulled from the Skid Loader next load out.

Never suggested that you put the generator under the engine that would have made the unit top heavy, I noted that the generator sits some distance from the engine where it could have been closer making the unit more compact.

Hope your planning to use more than one belt, I figure you'll need three.
