Hyper 7 Starter Box Conversion

Hey gang,

Just after a bit of advice really. The pull start went on my hyper 7 so rather than get another one I was thinking of getting a starter box. What will I need to do to the car, the pull starter is already off, can I just fit the blanking plate to the back of the engine or do I HAVE to take out the OWB. I understand that the OWB puts a load on but I dont mind leaving it in if I dont need to take it out. Alternatively is it an easy process to remove it etc. I've had a look around on here but I cant seem to find any details,

You can leave the pull start attached, but a new back plate for the engine should only be about 15-20 bucks. You may also need new engine mounts as the ones usually used on pull start equipped motors are a little higher.
