31.01.2021 Worm housing, rear bearing brace.

 *

Sunday 31st 29-36F, cold but clear and sunny again. I worked on the RA drive. Making an angle profile reinforcing brace/bracket for the rear worm bearing. I changed my mind about reproducing the same design as last time. It did not tie the Beacon Hill worm housing into the new, bolt-on structure. So I am making a bracket bolted directly to the new structure and the end of the worm housing. 

The most difficult part was carrying the hole pattern over to the bracket from the end of the worm housing. I made a stencil and now have the large [bearing retention] hole drilled. Now I just need to mark and drill the smaller holes.
