Hey all,
So, my rig is going to be running an NP203 doubler with an Atlas 2. I'm trying to keep the belly pretty flat. The NP203 hangs down significantly further when indexed normally. Is there any reason why I could not rotate it 90° counterclockwise? That would put the shifting mechanism at the 12 o'clock position. Specifically, would it oil itself properly in that position?

I thinking that I will drill and tap the case in positions that would allow installation of a sight tube, to check fluid level. My thought would be to fill it to about 1/3 to 3/8 the way up the gears, and they should sling oil everything well, correct? Any issues that you guys are aware of clocking it this way?
 
Nothing to add to the discussion from a tech standpoint, but quite curious about building a doubler with an Atlas.
