i was woundering how much stress there is on them? As i can cast them up for anyone intrested? I was thinking of useing aluminium to make them light weight.The standard ones weigh about 1.2-1.5 kgs as a pair. i can cast useing brass,bronze or aluminium. i cant cast iron as the iron furness i have access to is broken . any help would be greatly apprceated

I could cast a bellhousing. I will be doing one early next year when i get a dellows one,which i will be moding to fit a GZE flywheel and then beffing it up to make it strong. it will be for a 4A to w58 conversion. thats when i have done my 4AGZE conversion in my AE71.

I'll definately put my name down for a GZE/W5x setup! Thats exactly what I was suggesting when I asked if you could cast bellhousings! Keep me posted on your progress....

I only need to know if the gearbox stays will break if i cast them out of aluminium.the only car i have to test them in is a 4AC powered AE71 corolla, Will they last on a GZE?or in a high power aplication?

Yes aluminium would be ok as there is not a lot of stress on these supports they are there as stiffners to stop any viberation or flex between the bellhousing and motor .
