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.

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
