Default Timing belt shroud mod

I'm in the process of assembling my engine and want to do the mod on the plastic engine shroud. Tried all kinds of searches on the forum but can't find the diagram. I know it exists on here somewhere in the archives. Just can't find it. Can anyone point me to the diagram? Mod allows you to remove the back side of the shroud (against the block) without removing crank gear and simplifies water pump replacement and other tasks.. Thanks.

There’s this though I’m not sure it’s what you’re asking for

I've seen a pic where someone cut their back cover, maybe it was on Pelican or the like. I think it cleared the balancer shaft pulleys too. This and the 944 bell housing are PITA designs IMO. A 3 piece front cross member is something else that's probably worth doing while you're in there.

Yes, this is the modification that I am looking for.

Took me 2 secs to google it on here. Charlie944 posted a pic in 2005.
