Gives me a goal to attempt to reach. Get mine as nice as that one.

I'd say notch it , it'll act like a locating pin and help with any vibration noise that may happen there. Man I wish I could be working on mine too.

Great thread....

Whether you grind a notch in the gear cover or grind off the tab on the inner guard, getting the gear cover to fit seems like a minor issue. The bigger question is how difficult will it be to find a door that will work with the later gear cover, assuming the one you bought didn't come with one?

In a pinch you could make the door out of a pvc pipe coupler , it can be cut and molded to shape , there strong can be drilled and tapped. Prime and paint. It only covers the gearbox for SAFTEY.
