Default Re: PMD 4:1 brand new split

OK this final pick says a lot - they just took a little too much away from the bearing cap - a nice fillet would have been prime. Un fortunately the bearing is actaly outside the case for the most part. - I suppose you could take a new plate, machine in a countersink to hold the bearing and then bolt to the outer of the existing housing - in all it would look like crap though.

I think Dn's idea of welding ot back together is best - really thin material though - it would be difficult even for an experienced welder.

I know this sounds bad - but what about some 2 part epoxy like JB weld - you could pretty much lay a nice fillet around the housing and the bearing cup.
