input bearing retainer adapter question

To Josh and others who have made adapters to mate a small input bearing retainer trans to an OD bell. How do you secure the adapter ring, and keep it from falling out into the bellhousing? I am considering going down this road, and am having a little trouble on this detail. Thanks in advance._________________  |

| My adapter ring was an interference fit on the input bearing retainer.

Okay, thanks. That was the best option in my head, but wanted to check with someone outside my head, er, that had actually made/used one._________________ |

I remembered this morning that an adapter came with a BB Lakewood bellhousing that I have, so I dug it out! Alas, it is 4.35" i.d., and 4.80" o.d., not all the way to 5.125"...phooey. Guess I'll have to look up a machine shop on Monday._________________ |

| What's your time frame for this? You might try the local Community College machining program.

haha I was just going to slap in a non-od box I have laying around, so I could still drive the car while I rebuild the stock OD unit (with 260k on it). However, I may just have to pretend this never happened...
Thanks for the idea, though!_________________ |
