So I'm starting to change my 3.2/901 914 race car into a 3.6/915 and I am wondering if an older magnesium case 915 with a 7/31 ring and pinion will hold up? Any opinions are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton!!!

The mag-case 915's have steel inserts for the bearings to press into, and the addition of a one-piece bearing retainer is the fix for any flex that might happen between the two bearings. The later aluminum cases don't have the steel bosses and are supposedly weaker there. Plus the mag-cases are a little lighter.
I called WEVO asking the same question and they seemed to really like the Mag case ... Very nice people with a great product... |
