I have an 833 O/D with the 5.125 retainer and the big bolt circle.
I can't turn down the retainer because of the bolt circle.
Turning the housing will get into the fork pivot bolts.
I found that factory O/D bells have a pivot that mounts different.
I think I can get a new pivot and mount it in my bell so it's aligned correctly.
If I go to all that trouble, how much can I expect to spend to have a shop enlarge my retainer hole?
Anyone had this done recently?
There's a driveshaft shop local to me that I trust. Would they have the proper equipment?
I'm having trouble finding one of the proper bell housings, and the prices are up near $300.
Interestingly, the bell I have has no casting number (?) I picked it up for $60.
This is a reference shot I took of the odd pivot in an O/D setup-
