bellhousing needed...desperately!
theohighland - 29/6/07 at 03:56 PM

Hi,

I'm in desperate need of a bell housing as it is stopping me progressing on my build.

If anyone has one and is willing to post I will be happy to make an offer.

It's to go between my type 9 box and xflow.

Thanks very much,
Theo

Where are you based?????

You'd be better off getting one from a local scrappy - shipping costs would be immense, as the standard bellhousing is cast iron and very, very heavy.

Should be easy to find, as the gearbox itself doesn't have to be a runner. You might have some dirt to remove, but it shouldn't be too rusty; oily cast iron doesn't rust in the same way as steel.

in tonbridge in kent, so about as far away as scotland as i can be sadly!!!

all the scrappys ive tried in the local area don't have any which is annoying, as im aware they way a fair bit, thanks for the suggestion though

Anything attached to a Xflow engine is guaranteed not to be rusty

i've got one - but i really don't want the hassle of posting (and it does weigh a tonne)

Could we organise a shipping chain?

Anyone going down the M6 somewhere soon who could take it some of the way? I work 30 seconds from j2 and live 10 minutes away so could easily meet someone.

...but reasonably accurate!

There's a good reason why I've got a drip tray under my car...
