Re: [T3] cases

["Russ Wolfe" <russella@prairieinet.net>]

That oil cooler stud was not that hard to replace. And if you are getting a
new case, it will probably not have that stud installed. I have converted
many T-1 cases to T-3, and visa-versa. As for the cross member mount bosses,
most of the newer T-1 replacement cases had the bosses cast in, but not
drilled and tapped. There is an adapter kit that uses the oil pump studs,
but they really, really, really suck.
