vauxhall type 9 bell housing

last chance for anyone to sell me that crusty one lurking at the back of your garage

no? ok...

going to buy one from yukspeed, is iit cheeky to ask for any kind of discount, like asking how much it would be if i collected with cash? or he'd throw in the bolt kit too?
anyone on here done that before?

£170 is cheap for one of these, but still expensive for a peice of alloy, when it cost more than something complex like my engine

aframe certainly are cheaper, but they don't do the angled one i need
I've bought my chassis as an ex-racer, engine mounts etc are already built for the engine to be angled at 7 degrees, and the 7 degree angle gives more room for my carbs and stuff

If you don't ask you won't know





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

He's very funny! I bought a bellhousing from him a while back over the phone and he cracked a slightly racist joke, then paused and said "errr, you aren't black are you?"

would have thought you'd get a better deal bantering on the phone than via that impersonal and easily misread thing called email...
