About the "gold thingies"; I get 'em wholesale ; that's almost a necessity with these distributors.

Sorry if I caused any confusion about 'cams'. I understand the theory, but was merely trying to shorten the "quoted" reference.
Getting back to the cast bells....just HOW do guys safely mount these on a true engine stand? As many of these that I had seen in the past, I had never really thought about mounting one before your picture above just 'smacked' me up the side of the head. DD
