Such a nice piece should have symmetrical mounting points. Is there any reason they could not have done so?

I agree and I am not sure.

I know the hv series started life as reproduction versions of the 094.  I have never looked at an 094 close enough to notice if the rear of the case is twisted. With out knowing/seeing the insides of this hv24, I cannot say if there is or isn't a reason but assume there has to be.

After a lot of different diagonal measurement and trans in and out a couple time, I found points I could use to center it in the cradle. The front at the bell housing is easy, its the rear thats twisted and warped , I just chuckle everything I look at it. Also explains why they don't off a weld on lazer cut mount or anyone else that I could find.

I just looked, I do not have a single pic on my phone in a full length shot.

Only pic on my phone that sort of shows it. Back end is twisted clockwise.

Snapped a few cell pics tonight. Now that I have found a few point from which to level it, the rear mounting ears are with in .25" of each other. Maybe its my bad eye throwing me off too. The rear is def cast at an angle. I'm sure there's a reason for it. It does make mounting it a touch more difficult but definitely doable. Interesting to see it built that way though.

The main case where the gears are housed, its offset a little bit to the right side. Not sure if it can be seen in the pics.

All I ever saw were side views. I had no idea it was twisted/clocked off level. I am curious why .
