Re: Fixing mounting ear on Muncie case
If you decide to take on the repair yourself... To get the look of a freshly cast case... take the case down to an Aluminum foundry and ask them to put it in with some of their freshly cast pieces. It is a vibratory bin that is used to dislodge the casting sand from the Aluminum pieces. My dad had some parts cast from Aluminum and when he got them back they looked just like NOS Aluminum intakes, Muncie Cases...ETC.
It is unbelievable....
Remember that the side cover and tail shaft housing were not cast the same way as the main case they were molded... I believe using a steel mold and the outside appearance is much smoother and VERY different from the main case. Looks more like an injection molded potmetal piece.
