Re: Drivetrain Critiques

The 7075 from OnlineMetals, I found usually comes out to be around 0.500 - 0.503. Usually a pretty good fit on a broached part.

Sorry, I meant the bellypan.

Adam, we used our bellypan to fixture the chassis before welding, what's your experience with using garolite to do the same thing? (Or do you do something different altogether?)

The overlap on the bearing plates, I'd look at doing more, going to more of rectangle shape if you have to instead of the teardrop shape. Although, doesn't hurt to try it as is.
