| − | ==Purpose-built fixture for engine stand==
| + | Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I'm impressed! Extremely useful information specially the last part cfkdadebeffddece |
| − | I also question the use of the fixture suggested by Neighbors. If not properly supported the bell housing will crack under the weight of the transmission.--[[User:Crosley|Crosley]] 17:16, 10 February 2012 (MST)

| − | ::If both of you guys are in agreement about removing or altering the details about the fixture posted by Neighbors, then go ahead and address it. You can remove the images, move them to this talk page, put a note in the article that the efficacy and/or safety of that specific fixture is disputed, put a note on Neighbors's talk page, etc. -- whatever you think is best. Regarding the issue of "bellhousing" vs. "bell housing", I understand it to be a toss-up, based on personal preference. In such a situation, control of the terminology goes to whoever is currently the most significant contributor to an article. This is not a perfect solution, but I do believe it to be more or less fair. Wiki has a huge advantage over forums in that you can have a heated, no-holds-barred debate on an article's talk page, while the article itself remains pristine and and professional.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 11:01, 12 February 2012 (MST)

| − | :::I concede to whatever Crosley decides on bell housing/bellhousing on this article, as he is the originator and main contributor. I also believe there's room for using either/or, depending.

| − | :::As to the SolidWorks software rendering (or whatever program was used) of the 'Purpose-built fixture for engine stand' by member Neighbors, I did a search using several terms in both Google web and Google images and did not find it. That type of program is readily available to students and others, and in that it seems to lack some fundamental elements to be used as it's presented here, I'd tend to believe that it was done by that member.
| + | |
| − | :::I agree there is a definite safety concern if supporting the weight of the transmission by only two bolt holes. As far as the fixture itself I can understand the concept but I cannot visualize how it would work as it's currently presented. It would seem that the transmission would be not be held level '''or''' straight up and down judging by the angle of the fixture.

| − | :::In any event I support any or all of Jon's suggestions as how to proceed.
| + | |
| − | ::::Seems like the next step is to ask Neighbors about the fixture.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 15:39, 12 February 2012 (MST)

| − | :::::Done.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 16:16, 12 February 2012 (MST)

| − | ::::::Until such time there's a response from Neighbors, I've removed the questionable text and images from the Transmission holding fixtures page.--[[User:Cobalt327|Cobalt327]] 17:59, 22 February 2012 (MST)
