Actually, I need the case.
1533 1534

I know one of the boys over east has a case and box for sale, but I dont have that money handy. Mike - do you still have that box lying around? If you do, I would love those casings if you dont want them. and still have them. The gearbox shop said it would be too risky to weld as it's the t-case area and will heat up causing more problems.

Thanks.

I think if mike has anything it would be for a 6 speed.

Hi Scotty, I would consider taking it to an engineering / welding works and getting them to take a look at it , they should be able to grind it out and TIG weld it without any problem , regardless of location on housing . This should be a lot cheaper and easier than replacing that bell housing section. ( maybe 1 hour labour @ $ 100.00 ? ) I brought an mid case section off Supercar Engineering second hand , but i don't think he has a bell housing in stock any more .May be worth sending him an Email to enquire .
Good luck

I know you're looking for one on your side of the world, but if you don't have any luck, I've got a few of them...

For what it's worth, I'd weld that in a heartbeat... It's not a stress crack from use, it split when the threads got wadded up. Weld up the crack, heli-coil the bolt hole, and you'll be set.

Roger that thanks guys. Like I said, the guys who put the case back together took it to their welder and he said not to. I'll take it somewhere else. :)

As the TC bolts over it there is nothing stopping you from welding it then welding another piece of plate against it for extra strength.
