Bellhousing centre GT6

Hello Martin 

                           Just find  a friend with a lathe and make a new one!(I made one for my spitfire when fitting an oil seal and found the factory made the later ones longer!)

Roger

ps details on here somewhere!

Found out that Canley lists them for 25 GBP.

I do have a small lathe and in the workshop next to mine there is a machine shop with lathe and cnc mill facilities. 

The cause? The bellhousing is straight. Whether the Backplate of the engine was bent, no idea I bought the gearbox and bellhousing separately (Stoneleigh some years ago) as spares.

I think these were originally.  Quite hard and good friction/wear properties.  Looking at Martins original pic the crack looks like a cast iron crack.....

Doesn't mean it couldn't be made from steel though.

Think they are the same as Dolly 1850 - if so I have a couple in their native bellhousings.

Yup cast iron.

Hello Gt6s

                    Is it a seal or non seal type?

I have a non seal type I removed from my Spitfire if it the right size you can have it.

I will try and find it tomorrow and measure it

Hello All

               Have checked Nick is right bigger o/d and I/D  (1.308" O/D 1.000"I/D  1.500" long were carrier fits) but the Spitfire one fitted the Vitesse into the bell housing(may have been a touch loose but that may be the housing?)

Today I completed the gearbox. Thanks again Nick.

There are 3 springs that give some pressure to the laygear thrust. Part 137532.

Have a look. With the longer ones the laygear was more or less blocked.

I do not remember where the longer ones came from.
