Hi all,
I do not know if this has been covered before but I am after any info in regards to where I have to grind the bellhousing inorder to suit a 12v flywheel. I do not yet have the flywheel so i can't throw in on the output shaft and see. I did however put the 6v one on and can't really see where to clearance.

It is a type 1 6v tranny.

Cheers for any help (pictures would be great as I am a bit of a visual man)

Ian.

u need t ogrind or file down the 4 bolt hole areas about 1 or 2 mm and about 25mm into the bell housing

its better if you have a loose 12V flywheel to test it with so u can see how much to take off

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
