Who's made a bellhousing fit an O/D retainer?

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-
