Test fitted the two yesterday, I think I know why it didn't seal - they aren't even flush with each other. With no washers at all (around the bearings) it still seems to sit a little proud (probably about 0.5mm), can't see where it's hitting but I suspect it is the edge of the bearing carrier. Looks like the T-T50 and the A-T50 bellhousings aren't "bolt together compatible" after all...
Tested with different numbers of washers and ended up with 2 on the input shaft and none on the layshaft, hope it doesn't put too much load on the bearings. With that combination it is no more proud than it is without the washers.
Have stuck the two together now, blue goo and gasket paper, finger tight with the ratchet. Will wait till it cures and then torque it up and hope for the best...
