Well I started fixing the lowest bolt hole that was stripped on the back of the sm465. Used a time sert insert, I’m cheap and didn’t want to use to the kit. They use a tap to make the insert go in. After got one stuck on the tap I said screw it I’ll twin stick this damn thing finally. Ended up getting some more inserts today, slotted one to put it in with a gasket scrapper.
This seal being screwed allowed it to pump gear out out the trans into the tcase which shot it out the vent onto my exhaust. Really only noticed it after of the 5.38s.
I’ve got to swap speedo housings with another earlier model NP205 so I can move where the speedo gear drive comes out.
I’ve got to work on welding round tube. This is like 4-5 welds. I’ve got to get better at pre positioning to continue through the weld.
Still got to make the thru holes for the cables to pass through. And I’ll make some covers for it. Really want it to be my first bead roller project.
Yep, it’s a wee bit tall. Which I’m hoping it’s got plenty of leverage to shift it.
