Got the bung welded on to the housing. Some of the bung got lost in the process as a result of trying to make the smallest possible hole in the housing and I had to weld it up and machine it/re tap the bung. The bung was more 3D and I made it 2D. Happy with the results. I installed the race by freezing it to -20 and heating the housing in the BBQ. I placed the housing vertical and dropped the spacer/race in and spun it around before it stuck to insure it was squarely seated. Next is assembly but it is straightforward. I need to replace some rubber parts and wheel bearings first.
