Hi Paul and group,
I have missed you all as my mail box has been empty.
Paul some time ago there where discussions on the pro's of drilling the ford E4D planetary gear carrier as per your design.
I have drilled this end plate and was surprised at how soft it is, I have completed 3 dwgs of the PRSU unit using the series 5 auto bell housing.
I am reviewing which one I will use and will post my desired version for your comment in the coming week.
Regards Don

I think you are referring to the planetary ring gear bulkhead.
Well I changed my mind about that. I decided the safe thing to do was make a new
4130 or 4340 bulkhead and drill that. Tracy cracked a stock powdered metal
version by hitting it with a hammer and that kind of scared me.
