32 coupe: Hard to tell but I don't believe that is the bellhousing I am currently using. In the beginning I used Offenhauser but the fit of their bellhousings became a problem plus when the company changed hands their cost made them prohibitive to buy. I chose to go another direction with a better product. In you first article you mention the cost of my kit. I checked and you are getting $300 out of your plate. Not everyone has a hogshead laying around shop and on E-Bay the asking price for one plus shipping is around $200. Then you need a throwout brg hub with bearing $45-50 plus some form of adapter sleeve for the hub $25-30, pilot bearing or bushing $20, lower shaft $30-$45, fork $30, return spring$3 & bolts $10. If your customer has to obtain these items from an outside source soon the cost of your plate ventures into the area of what mine costs or surpasses it. I'm sure your plate works fine. I judge how mine works by the number of kits I've sold since the mid 90's.
