|
|
The good news is that I scored an aluminum 2 piece case. What I'm wondering about are the downsides. So far I've identified 1) a small crack, 2) the relatively rough casting, and 3) the small pickup tube. My machinist is welding the crack, and I planing on cleaning up the case with some wet sanding and a trip to the vapor blaster. Does anyone know if it's possible to install a larger pickup tube? Are there any other issues with these older cases that I should know about?
Cheers,
