CrV high pressure cap, screw/blocks from scissor jack, 90° 4:1(had set of 15:1 but they are too buggered to use) gears from a handheld belt sander. Rotates by turning handle, tilts by loosening clamp screws and setting angle. I initially had a large roller bearing in between the vice base and gear housing which allowed rotation while tilted but it was getting too tall so I replaced with thrust washers so now only rotates about 30° when tilted, cant win em all.287675
 
Pinion housing installed, pinion depth and backlash set with jam nut on pinion shaft and lock down bracket on pinion housing 287678
 
Thrust washers and roller bearing with spring loaded bearing housing for preload on pinion shaft287679, preload set with jam nut
