> now, i can hug you. Since you have the tooling, why not cut a recess the same size as the t-case hole? Or put a hole w/ a plug in it so you can put oil in there, Or a check hole to make sure oil it there.

cut a recess? yo mean thin out the back and leave meat on the sides? I suppose i could, but working in that plane would be better done with a CNC.

I think the drain plug idea is good, I may do that, the fill plug is on the other side.

EDIT: there are two drain plugs. I only cut off one:
