No way. Send me the box and I will do it for free except if I have
to farm out some parts for grinding. You pay for all parts
and shipping both
ways. I will need a new gear as no way can we salvage the
gear you have.
Or take it up to Tracy's and do it on his mill.


Finn, is your Ross bellhousing not machined on the back side, like mine?

I was thinking of adding a thrust bearing like your third drawing, adding a
plate to the back side of the bellhousing.

Chuck what is the function of those four large bolts or nuts I see on the
back side of this bell housing?
