Ah. Just in post 22. I will try to fix thatthey're fine.

It was time to put on the bearing retainer and check preload.
NOTE:
YOU HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL FOR THIS BUT IF IT IS A NEW H55, DO NOT MOVE IT AGAIN! YOU CAN BUGGER IT BADLY!!!!
Ensure this oil slinger is in place and tight:

Then align the rib on the retainer with the rib on the case and tighted the bolts to 25 foot pounds.

This took me a couple tries but I ended up with a number 5 shim in there (.5mm). My preload was about 12 inch pounds with the number 4 until I put the gasket in and it fell to 6 so I took it apart and put in the 5 and torqued everything and it is within spec.
That is where I am at. So I am waiting for a couple small bits from CDan as well as the shim to replace those I borrowed from the mud member.

Still following! Get this thing on the road while there is still gas to run it with.
Either one will work. I have both and determined that the angle was ok so I am sticking with the 3F. It has a cleaner appearance. I set it up with the 2F housing like Poser did; allowing the mounts to rest on the frame with no rubber between them and the frame and then swapped it for the 3F.Hey, Hugh -
Did you ever work out the 2F vs 3F Bellhousing issue ?
I'm doing the same thing into a '74, including the split case drum brake, and have the 3F bellhousing, so I'm wondering if the 3F housing worked or if you had to source a 2F ?
Thanks.
Gday Hugh,
quick question (and a silly one at that)

oil slinger on the front output shaft- concave bowl side up with the three slingers poking up/out (like it sits in your hand), or convex side up with the slingers facing the bearing?
Is this slinging oil on the seal or on the bearing?
Cheers,
(I'm putting mine together tonight and tomorrow- mine didn't have an oil slinger, but the donor case did)
Hans.
