Default RE: Primary conversion

No parts in particular.
Machine work to create a space to install some sort of seal between the trapdoor and cases.
Machine work to create a space to install seals where the shaft extends from the tranny through the trapdoor into the primary.
Something to seal the cross-over valve between the primary and the crankcases.
Probably something more, too.
All-in-all, not an easy task, and a lot of one-off custom work.
