Sounds good. Also, happy to look over the pics once you get it sorted...may be able to make some suggestions where manufacture could be simplified and cut costs.

I'd be up for that. The first one was totally a design as you build. Love having a bandsaw, belt grinder, and a TIG machine. You can do all sorts of stuff, and if it is not going well, hack it off and go another direction.

The girdle has not put any adverse loads or effect on the box. +1200 miles from Seattle Wa to Sturgis SD and all is well. 94F ambient air temperature and the gearbox is doing fine. Couple steep long grades I saw 220F gearbox temp. Activated the oil cooler system and dropped it down to 200 with a two minute run. Normally it runs 170-180F
