I do not think there is enough room for two bearings. The bearing rotates

Jerry, I didn't know you were on the ACRE's group, as I saw the details of
your 2.85:1 thrust bearing mod posted by some one else. Do you perform the
gearbox mods commercially? If I had known you were here I would have asked
your permission before I redrew your thrust bearing cap in CAD and posted it
on the best practices site. If you don't mind me leaving up, I would
appreciate any other recommendations you have for improving the Ross
gearboxes.
