perhaps a long shot i know... but does anyone have one they'd like to sell me?
i see there's one on ebay so i'm watching that, but looking to see what else is around

its the 7 degree 153mm type

cheers

why 7 degree???


blakep82 - 15/6/08 at 01:45 PM

they use the 7 degree one in racing, the racing engine mounts i've got already tilt the engine over by 7 degrees, the engines in the vauxhall cars naturally tilt by 7 degrees normally anyway (but thats no real reason), and by tilting toward the exhaust it gives me a bit more space between the engine and pedal box for my carbs and air filters/air box

in short, my car's already built for a 7 degree bell housing

Fair doo's

I think it'll be a more difficult housing to get on the second hand market though.
I used aframe engineering for my std one around 150 squids.

just emailed them, see if they do any 7 degree ones £140's good

yukspeed will sell you a 7 deg one for that.

I sold my old 7 deg one out of my rwd pug 205 for £90


blakep82 - 15/6/08 at 09:32 PM

yukspeeds one's £170 now

well, when i said £140 was good, i meant better than yukspeed, or SHP sell them for...

£90 would have been even better!
well, maybe not for you...
