Paul
could you tell me how many screw and size Tracy use to hold the planet outside gear,
I am set up on the milling machine ready to make hole and taps.
Thanks

Tracy used  eight 5/6th flat heads with the stock Ford powdered metal bulk head.
They sheared off clean on Mark Steitle's 3 rotor.

I don't recommend doing it that way. The powered metal Ford bulkhead is too hard and too brittle.

Use a bunch of extended point set screws in from the outer housing.

BTW Industrial Metal Supply in Burbank CA has thick wall aluminium tube for PSRU housings.
Great outfit! Been doing biz with them for 50 years.
