I used this die grinder and burr tool to cut out the aluminum. I installed the lower starter bolt and then swung the start into place to see where is hit. Then I'd grind a little and refit and mark and grind.. That way you ONLY take out what is needed. The whole grinding/fitting process took me about a half hour. Not counting the JB Weld hardening time.
