Please help, im aiming to put the most suitable bellhousing onto a type 9, BUT getting confused on best option(s) available, read posts suggesting modding the std type 9 arm, needing a fulcrum pin, needing this spigot bush and that, needing a gasket, but getting more and more confused.

So please could anyone give me a definitve list, cost effective but bolt straight on. Yukspeed, SBD, A frame Engineering?? :help:

Fixing to flat type flywheel and cover, and using pinto 2.3 clutch plate.

thank you in advance

Pretty sure whichever bellhousing you use your gonna need all the above.:thinking:

You'll need a fulcrum to lock and allow arm to pivot.

You'll need a spigot bush for the input shaft.

Use a gasket (or as i've been told a smear of silicone will do)

The clutch arm may need a little trimmimg to clear the hole-will post a pic tomorrow to show you mine.

They all bolt straight on though.:thumb:

Here the pics mate-you can see where the arms been 'shaved' a bit to clear bellhousing. I guess you could mod the bellhousing instead??

Still not sure on engine yet-mine owes me pretty much nothing now so may save up and buy one built-maybe-the motors going to be the last thing probably anyway and i can use this for mocking up etc. Dunno see how it goes.:thumb:

All over the place mate-mostly secondhand bargains on Ebay etc. Yukspeed seems to deal in most of the conversion bits and seems reasonably priced too. I was lucky as i bought all my bits a while back when they were still 'cheapish' :D.
