Paul,
Using Dave Leonard's photo, I would like to ask some questions which this
photo appears to show more clearly than my own housings.

I should say at this point, I am working with Butch on the possibility of
aluminium end housings.

1.Notice the EYE shaped wear mark - is this where the rotor side seals do
not touch the wear plate?

Yes.

I am looking at attachment pints for the wear plate.

2. The round mark around the gear shown, is this the oil ring seal mark?

You got me there. It is nothing to do with the rotor as the rotor orbits
while it rotates.

As usual I would appreciate any comments as I don't have all the parts to
check myself. I have the necessary spare housings and an engine not pulled
down yet.

BTW the Bellhousing is going well, I will send a photo as soon as my
batteries are recharged in the camera.
