I expected more along the lines of getting a plate to mate them up... Hmmm mid engine may well be better then | |

its alot of work to be ohnest as the flywheel has to have the ring gear for the starter made or adapted and it all has to made properly and ballanced | |

on the cutting and welding? what engine are you fitting to what gearbox? you will obviously need a flywheel and clutch from what ever car the gearbox came from, | |

or you could cut the bell housing off of a gearbox that fits the engine and weld it to the gearbox of your choice, ive seen it done with an xe to a type 9 box | |

quote: you mean the input shaft, the plate would only go round the bolt holes like a sandwich to change the bolt hole pattern, ive done a simlar thing before when fitting a 1.6 vitara engine to a 1.3 suzuki sj gearbox | |

If its mid/rear engine why not use the vauxhall box? its easier to make shafts than it is to modify a fixed bell house :) | |

Isn't the engine in the back anyway Davey?? | |

...but.. I think its a stupid idea! Its easier to use a Vauxhall box (if you can find one that fits in longitudinal format) and build a prop if its RWD. | |

"with all the bolts and spring washers removed lift the clutch assembly of the locating dowels. the driven plate will fall out at this stage as its not attached to the clutch cover assembly or the flywheel" | |

there is a bit more work involved with release bearings etc, as steve said you could end with a clutch which won't disengage | |

how does the output shaft mate up with the clutch plate if there is a plate sandwiched between the two? | |
