Thanks Lynn, that throwout bearing is a beautiful thing.  Since you must be

fimilar

with Mazda bell housings, I've been thinking that rather than casting a

custom B/H

I would spin the housing from thick AL and heliarc on flanges and brackets

as req'd,

from what you know of the factory B/H , is this possible ?

Thanks,
Ed Angell

If you can spin bell housings Ed we will beat a path to your door.
We can use them for the PSRU.

Hi Paul:
Send me a JPEG drawing with a section view of what you need and I'll see if it can
spun.  Indicate what wall thickness you need.  The alloy of Al will be determined
by welding requirements and corner radii.

We need a hat section about 3 inches deep, about 12 inches in diameter
with a one inch flange all around. 3/16-1/4  inch thick. OA would be about 14 inches
of course.
