We do discuss that issue a lot so you might do a search. One of the biggest problems is the starter. It is very close and will cook, plus it's hard to replace with some brands.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Hedmans never let me down decent flanges and the ball collector flange works good when you off road a lot.
