I think Tracy is talking about right here.
The bulkhead in question is made from powdered metal

and that is

what Tracy is concerned about I think. They can be

broken if hit

with a hammer. You have room for a needle thrust

bearing (shown in blue)

between the bulkhead and the clamp ring (thickened)

that holds the

rear prop shaft bearing.

Also shown is my recommendation of how to get oil to

the sun gear.

Hi Don;
The rear Shaft Seal should be turned around facing
inboard same as the Flange end. (This might be a mistake
on the drawing as it may have not been mirrored).
Also, some seal or form-a-gasket compound should be used
at bolted Flange connections.

I congratulate on a job well done......A very Nice and
Impressive looking overall package ;-)
