The table is then moved 5.1875" and rotated to 0. Drill the first hole and rotate the table to 120 degrees then to 240degrees. Rotate back to 0 then to 32 degrees then 152 degrees then 272 degrees drilling holes at each point. These holes are in the correct place and the plate will fit.This is just to drill the holes to mount. Then the flywheel has to be resurfaced and balanced. This is why the modified setup is 425$. Lots of time and work involved. Mine also include the plate, clutch disk, flywheel ring, and the pilot bearing.

James;
Thanks for sharing the method used to set-up the job. Some other responders seem to think this info is "top secret" in their small minds and they are reluctant to "give it away" or as I call it, "help others in the hobby". Thanks again. It's people like you that make this a great hobby !
