and weighs over 9kg IIRC

you can get a good few kilos shaved off there though (mine is now only 5kg )

Thanks for the replies guys... the reason for the random question is I am fitting a pinto engine initially and using a T5 gearbox, post IVA I will be changing to a volvo T5 engine. I was just working out whether I should buy a T5 to pinto bell housing or not... it would appear that the best option is for me to get a standard cosworth bell housing as the cosworth flywheel is the same diameter to that on the volvo so the starter motor should work nicely... will just have to make a temporary modification whilst the pinto is fitted.
