Hey Paul, Anything new on the Bell Housings?

Regards,
Rick in Alaska

I don't know. Have not heard from Larry lately.
Chances are he is buried in work.

What's up Larry?

Paul,
(feel free to publish the updated file I sent you recently)
Bell housing updates are complete and I will be cutting the new pattern
during the holidays. There will be 2 versions to fit the 2 different gear
ratio's. The new design includes everything we learned doing the first batch
and is a big improvement. I will have half dozen of the originals for anyone
interested, but we will have to coordinate as there are differences in
Tracy's gear boxes that we have to pay attention to.
And yes, been buried in work.... starting to free up and get back on rotary
stuff.
Larry

What about retrofits Larry? How does one go about
adapting their existing boxes?

Paul,
We will have to work out the retrofit of older gear boxes on a one by one
basis, as there were some design changes along way that we have to account
for. In some cases, it may be best to have the gear reduction sent here for
retrofit and I will custom machine the bell housing to match. The nose of
this does replace the front spacer on the 2.85 gear reduction and gets
machined off to fit the 2.17 drives.
The starter now fits in the same position without having to drill the
starter housing.
Larry
