Stange said the case has a tendency to split, I don't buy it, Strange wants to sell a solution. There is a 360 degree support for the bearing vs 2 bolts cap facing the WRONG direction for the exact same type of deflection. This snail case is heck of strong IMO. I don't see ANY difference in bearing support between the two snail cased, if anything the design of the 1le case is weaker cause both support bearings are in boltin cases. Of course the the 10.9" 1le is A LOT LOT bigger, so don't go saying I said the 8.2" case was stronger, I said if anything the design was stronger with a complete 1 piece casting for the majority of the case..kind of like an Offy engine. IMO there should be no issues sanding a dowel freezing it and pushing it into a 500 degree headed housing... trail and error.
