Hi Paul.  My friend called me yesterday to talk about the end
housing.  He proposed that maybe the easiest way for him to price
the end housing was to just make one.  I told him to hold off,
given that it wasn’t a finished part, but looking at it, I don’t
know what I need to do to finish it.  I looked for dimensions to
check, but not knowing what they should be, I can’t really be of
any help there either.

Have you gotten yours any further?  I don’t mind working on it, but
I’m feeling a bit useless in that department since you don’t want
the guy with zero experience designing the parts.  I think I’m more
useful if I spend my time pricing materials and doing groundwork.
Any chance you might be able to come up with a finished design that
he can just go ahead and make?

I realize that all of this stuff distracts you from getting your
turbo compound running.  :)

Remember these are not final. You will have to do further work on
them. Also double check all dimensions.

Once unzipped they should import into Solid Works.

Thanks, Paul.  What shall I tell him for material?

6061 T6 is fine.

Hey, Paul, one thing I’ve been wondering about, looking at this
housing, is how does the gasket work?  Do we need more than one water
o-ring?  Is this housing missing an o-ring groove?

Yes. You will need them between the wear plate and the alloy end
housing.
