So I have been working on some other upgrades... here's a sneak peak

In a old RCCA Buyer's Guide I recently picked up, I spotted an ad for a kit SRS made that replaced the nylon 6 gear bearing adapters with over-sized flanged bearings....and I'm thinking the bearings would be a nicer look on these aluminum cases than the nylon adapters.

These bearings should be the correct sizes.

I agree, I am having the bearing carriers and out drive cups done in aluminum

That would be another fine option.

Ok this is better... I have never liked the way the plastic parts looked against the aluminum cases. So here's all aluminum parts, 6 pieces (two case halves, two outdrive cups and two bearing retainers). Bringing Sexy Back!

Nice! Where'd you get the bearing adapters? I have some, but they don't fit as nice s those appear to.

Had them machined for this project

Very slick.

So added some more parts... turnbuckles, rpm rod ends and puretech strap. But I also received my aluminum case!

Budhatrain,

I'm loving your build, killer paint job.

Cheers, Dave.

The whole job is beautiful. The paint job is crazy good. Amazing mate
