To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, January 14, 2010, 5:12 PM Hi Eric All you need is about a ft of bell housing , bell housing on one side and the bench holder on the other . I have a small bracket ( ??? 3x6 '' ) & mount a red light ( for power ) & toggle switch ( ign ) then a push button . It weighs nothing + starter = ? not much . Small works on the ground or bench .
