Mate a Lancer Turbo to a T5 box

Can anyone point me in the direction of a bellhousing to mate a Mitsubishi Lancer Turbo with a Borgwarner T5 gearbox.

I'm at the fit the engine stage so all replies welcome.

Engine was rebuilt 10k ago and has been upped to 220bhp and the box is only 32k miles hence really need to marry these two up.

Ideas?
Help?
Pointers?

All appreciated.

not sure about in this country, but if you get really desperate, try castlemaine rod shop in australia, they have a website somewhere and would probably help you out.

in true locost tradition "Make yer own" bolt one plate to engine, one to gear box, fiddle with clutch, find a friction plate that will fit the box input shaft that is the same Dia as the Mitsubishi pressure plate, then fill the gap between the two with whatever width plate u need,

job done.......££££££££££'s saved.
