A suggestion for correcting misaligned locating dowels.
Measure the correction as suggested and then turn (or get turned if you do not have access to a lathe) replacement dowels turned in two sections, offset by the needed correction, setting up the second section by using a four jaw chuck. A variant would be to make the offset more than needed and rotate the dowel to get the correct radial distance - twisting the adapter or bell housing by a few thou would have no ill effects that I can see. In either case a screwdriver slot in the end to turn it, and use of loktite to secure it in the correct position would be the route to follow.
Note, I have not tried this, and am open to improvements!
