If there is no other theme to this project, let it be the gross abuse of technology to solve problems that never existed until I unnecessarily invented them.
Luckily my job has given me connections to people with some very fun toys. One of them is a good friend who makes off road racing parts. He has a very nice 3d laser scanner which I used to scan the TCS bellhousing, and the focus SVT bellhousing. Compared to my brute force approach of gage pins, calipers, a height gage, and a center probe this is already off to a flying start. I merged the two scans after capturing the bores of all the bolt holes. Yellow is the TCS, pink is the SVT. You can see which holes overlap, where the lower suspension arms need to be, etc. My plan is to source a larger 3d printer and use it to print a test piece. Once I have a working piece, I will scale up a version to allow for casting shrinkage and try my hand at sand casting....
With that said please allow 6-12 months for the Charles time scale.
