A mounting system, for installing a starter-generator to an accessory housing, where the starter-generator has a mounting end with a connecting flange and a cooling air outlet radially inward of a peripheral starter-generator housing edge, and where the accessory housing has a matching connecting flange radially inward of a peripheral accessory housing edge. The mounting system includes a cooling air outlet collection shroud enveloping the peripheral starter-generator housing edge and the peripheral accessory housing edge, the shroud having a discharge outlet. A V-band clamp releasably secures the connecting flanges together and is enveloped within the shroud in a compact mounting system that collects and discharges the exhausted cooling air.
