The bellhousing which caught his eye at the time was the thin wall type, so I don't
really know if he was being specific about that type or the alloy bellhousings in
general (I suspect the former). The thin wall type has never given me any problems
(other than amplifying the gearbox noise) in any of the cars I've had fitted with
them, though none of theses has been more powerful than a stock 1300 - I'm sure
Standard-Triumph had very good reasons for going to the thicker casting. The thick
wall bellhousing is actually very uncommon in the UK - I've had just one pass through
my hands and that was attached to an engine and gearbox which were imported from the
US!
Cheers,
Bill.
