Seems i remember Bill and Phillip were collaborating on this, after bore job on tc case there was no case material for the seal.

"All other NP205 models used a smaller diameter input bearing."

its not going to work... you need the 29 spline case, the 23 cant be feasibly converted.

why spend nearly 500$ on just parts when a 29 spline case can be had for less money?

you can convert the small bearing case to the larger, i'm going to bore my case to the larger diameter.
and
1. i couldn't find a 29 spline case in my area for under $600-$900
2. my family owns a machine shop, so boring the case will cost me nothing.
3. i know the transfer case that i currently have is very sound, has had routine maintenance and has never been run out of oil etc
4. i was thinking about just running the 23-29 spline coupler but was advised against it
