Default Billet Carrier Caps

Rather than buying a $200 girdle to apply pressure to the stock cast caps to keep them from flexing wouldnt billet caps be cheaper?

i imagine that the billet caps would need to then be line honed to be done correctly, i dont think that would be cheap or easy

Picture 3 CNC stations, station 1 does the left hand differential bore, station 2 does the front and rear pinion bore with seal, and station 3 does the right hand differential bore. The center section is clamped by the cover pan and located by the 2 holes that feed oil into the tubes. Now everything has been finished by cnc but the 5 bores, the finishers all use one insert and cut ellipitical then are air gaged to with in 19 microns. 2 parts are CMM'ed per 8 hours and kept with in a thousand or each other tollerence.
