Pete,

I got my alloy bellhousing from Palmside in NZ
www.palmside.co.nz or you can pick them up second hand of ebay from the UK.

Pete,
I've got a set of Capri hubs and discs. Discs are undersize anyway. So I've basically only got hubs, with bearings in them.

If you want them, make an offer.
I'm in Adelaide.

Bruce,

When I was after one from them, they said it was from "Rally And Competition Equipment"

They are re cast with more material in all places.

I posted the question, about cracks in original RS units [as they do] on another board

The reply was there is no one place where they crack, other than all over.

Therfore the originals are to thin/poorly cast.

So u have a good unit.

Costs ??
Thanks

Whatever happened to Flowtech Racing in the UK :?:

I've still got a catalogue of their stuff from 1996 - they had lots of neat stuff.

Anyone know?

Nev,

Gone

A company was doing there stuff but that has gone by the wayside, too.

Dan told me once, he was going to do Magnesium ones, though, fortunately I never held my breath !

So I wonder where all the moulds went ?

Anybody know anything about sand casting :idea:

Nev,
Justin Nussio told me about a eastern states place that did copies of our style ones.

I contacted them a number of times without getting any where.

It turns out a bloke working there was doing them on the side or something, but they were like a size smaller if u get the drift, so it gave them a bit of a bad name etc.
I've never seen one.

Roger,

Cost about $380 AUS they list them as $425 NZ but as it was export you don't pay GST, I picked it up while I was there.

I know the elan factory http://www.elanfactory.com.au/ was looking at making alloy ones for the 2000E box but don't know if this ever happened. I don't think they would be cheap. I've got a magnesium one for the twincam, it is a conversion bellhousing for fitting a a type E box to a kent engine but retaining the hydraulic clutch. It is down getting crack tested as we speak, it is an original Ford/RS option one. When I get it back from crack testing I'll take a few pics, hope it is OK......
