Thanks Chris, Rich And Charlie. Yea, I was a little cross-eyed for a while after making the bell. A strong magnifying glass helped a little.
This photo shows the new bell bracket and the fabricated steps from the pilot to the running board. (the one on the right of the photo)
I cured the gear noise with a few shims on the worm shaft. Runs a lot smoother now , still haven't pulled any cars yet.
