Looks pretty nice. Guess you have to use a pump to remove the gear oil now since you eliminated the drain plug.

You remove one of the lower studs and most of the oil will drain out.

Actually, I replaced one of the lower studs with a bolt. It makes for a slow drain but it works.

I haven't measured it but I guess it to be around the metric equivalent to 12GA(0.105) thick.

Try replacing another one for faster drainage, either another bottom one or try one top one to eliminate the anti-syphon going on inside.
Nice job BTW.

SHHHHHHuuuusssshhhhh.... Don't tell every one. (wisper mode) Most of them still believe that blacks actually do have big one's. Don't tell them it's not really true.... :o
