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

try aframe engineering in barrowford lancs,
quality is excellent, he will probably give you the bolt kit,
mention me when you inquire,

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.

Tell him to look at how much of a good write up they keep getting free of charge on here
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

ask if thats cheapest they can do it, say you can collect?, nothing ventured!!
you could always give them a plug on here for excellent service,
Mike used todo the 7' onem mut not be enough need for them now. shame
he made me some excellent adaptors for throttle bodies, ended up not fitting vx and sold them, wish i kept them now though and put them on pinto

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?"
