Hi i need a 7 degree XE to Ford bellhousing-i got mine a year ago off Ebay-the seller said it was for 7 degrees-its not!! Anyone wanna swap for my new upright one-it has had the 4 bolt holes redrilled to take M12 bolts standard type 9 thread.

Cheers, John.

Might be an idea to get in touch with Yuk Hodgson should you not get any responses.

By coincidence, I know someone with a 7 degree bellhousing that wants a straight one. Will send details in U2U.

i wnat an upright one, but have nothing to swap. not even money

just wanted to ask though, how much did you pay for? where's best to get them from?

Blake if i remember rightly it was £160 off the 'bay. I think the cheapest place for them is YUKSPEED in Yorkshire i believe?

cheers mate!

yukspeed is £160 too. SBD only slightly cheaper. thought there must be somewhere cheaper thoug

Excuse my ignorance but why do you need a 7 deg offset?
Which face needs to be 7 degs and could you get the either face milled at 7 degs?

^ natuarlly in a FWD car the engine tilts 7 deg forwards (towards the exhaust)

you get a bellhousing to align the gearox and enigne so they both stand vertical, and bell housings which have the gearbox standing vertical, and the engine it tiled 7 deg to the exhaust side.

in tight space, you'd need the engine to stand vertical (i do anyway) but tilting to 7 deg can allow more room for carbs and other intake stuff

Yep thats why lol-i also have a manta sump which necessitates this.

Mike have mailed Ben thanks.

Sorted now hopefully.

Thanks Mike, Ben came down today and swapped bellhousings. Top bloke too.

Many thanks, John.
