One other thing I did was to smooth the mating surface with 2500 grit sand paper and slightly chamfer it allowing me to squeeze an o-ring into that gap between ring-gear teeth and cup. I'm going to let it sit and see if it leaks, I doubt that it could. The ring-gear now clears the belly-pan thanks to a small depression I made with clamping pressure. I need to find/build a motor-shaft to pinion adapter and fab a new motor plate today. One advantage to mounting the motor directly will be heat dissipation, it sits right on the belly-pan, and that pan will stay pretty cool out in the snow.
