Thanks for your input and advice it is appreciated.

When I did my cast rear, I picked up a cast rear from a 12xx or 14xx I believe. Swapped the internals/axles/hydro pump from the 1872 rear in to the cast one. No need to bore the axle tubes since the axle diameter is the same at the bearing surface. Pretty easy swap as long as you keep all the SGT internals together. Setting backlash, ect. was the hardest part.
