BC Package
It's pretty darned obvious when you get a BC package...
...with a BC package.
The shell looks great BC! Thanks again. I just can't bring myself to comp'cut it yet as the majority of the artwork on the sides and back will vanish with a snip. Cookie monster and the dial caliper would be unrecognizable. Great job man."thumbsup"

7075 Berg Transmission Cases...FINALLY!!!
Me too. Shell, meet scissors. Scissors, meet shell.
It's [almost] a glorious day. If they pass my assembly test of installing all gears and checking mesh/clearances, I'll take delivery and finally be able to retire the only remaining stock Enroute Berg parts on my rig.
The cases pictured are the only ones cut. I'll hack-mod the front one just like the one on my rig right now. Rear one stays stock. This allows the use of a single CAD file. The case half on the left was a test and still shows mill finish. The completed units were media frosted. My goal was a bone stock case with a few mods. The trained Berg eye can find them. Beveled upper edge, no thick motor plate, missing front hole and separated bearing bosses on one half. I do not know what they weigh vs stock. I hopefully will own them today and weigh them tonight. I left the lower margins square for increased longevity. Over time the case margins will round off on their own...slowly. 7075 slides so much better than stock bubble-gum aluminum. Maybe I'm jinxing myself by posting this but they look great and I hope they pass spec today. Busy few nights of work ahead. Fun stuff.

Thanks Rowdy, but these were not VP. Local dude. Took several months to turn around.

My bad, looks like their quality, either way very cool.

The work on these is quite good but due to the low priority of the job there are a few spots that are not perfect. If done by VP [for production] they'd be the bomb and I'd owe VP a kidney. But I like my kidneys.
If you wan't to keep you kidneys, make your Berg cases yourself.

Cases came out nice worth the wait I'm sure...
Fingers crossed, hope gears fit nicely inside for you...

Ones?!? Aint no meth-head strippers here."thumbsup"
Me too. They frosted them without me asking. I kind of hope they mess something up and have to recut them. Then I'll tell them no frosting.
