Subject: RX8 bell housings cost

     I was in the dealer ship for the 7,000 mile RX8 service
     and I checked
     on
     the cost of the manual TX bell housing suitable for a Don
     Dunbar style
     PSRU. $604 so the junk yards will be about $300 if you can
     get
     them to sell you just the bell housing. I imagine they
     would
     like you to buy the whole TX for more.

     Can you bring your bell housing in for less than $600 US
     George?

Our marine bell housing (may or may not be suitable) sells for
$447.00 (MSRP), for "the list," they would be $360 (about 20% off).
They do not use the standard RX-7 starter (but could possibly be
adapted), and they will not fit a std. trans flywheel -- we make
aluminum flywheels to fit A/T counterweights, the housing matches
the reduced stand-off of our flywheels.

Looks like it could be adapted to Tracy's PSRU.

What does it weigh Jon? What starter do you use?
