OK you are almost ready now that you have some knowledge of what it is you seek to accomplish and the necessary parts for starters. There are a couple things to keep in mind; make sure you know the top of the plate (rotor side) from the bottom and where the true center of shaft rotation is. The bolt holes are not symmetric nor is the center of rotation located in the center. The best way I found was to determine the center of the circle based on wear patterns knowing that the inner gear was the shaft. I was able to make a paper template based of the Titan bottom and transfer that onto my steel plate. As you will see, I had a substantial investment into the Titan part so I modified it for use. I believe it is entirely feasible to build a steel port chamber and weld it to the plate. In any even it starts with the plate mod so here we go. One more large pic. | OK you are almost ready now that you have some knowledge of what it is you seek to accomplish and the necessary parts for starters.
