The good thing is that our input shaft doesn't have to be touched, where the seal lip gets to ride on.
The bad is that the stock retainer simply doesn't admit any such mods, to make room for an adequately sized seal (typically 2.0"×1.5"×0.25").

If ANYBODY can build this much needed mod, Steve can, with him being basically a one man operation, it is a wonder he has time for the R/D for this project.

Gerhard and I talked about this at the GA. rally. This is what i have at this moment. 100% welded to the ID bore, to be fully machined out by next week end. Who is on board?
Looks like a good plan steve, should be way more cost effective than a 1 piece billet part. What is your expected sale price for this?

That's a pretty cool idea and at only $178.00 a great deal ! I wonder if they can build our housings and grind our shafts for that price ? Think I'll call them tomorrow.
Called "Novak" today and they said they would not do a project with this limited amount of interest. I guess we in the MV world don't count for much ! Hopefully Steve will be successful in getting a working unit out for us.
