Here are the spec's of what we did

-4 1/4" thick (solid steel....it was actually 3/4" laminated pieces)
-laser cut
-load bolts for the bearing caps
-4 dowl pins locating the cover to the housing and keeping it where its supposed to be before bolting down and then also keeps the case from splreading
-Removable cylinder bracket comes off and revels the load bolt holes and the oil level plug

Here are the pics

Judging by the way your tires are mounted, I don't think your case will spread, it will compress.
