I don't recall the Hardly Boys RaceSpit4 ever having an alloy bellhousing
while we've had it -- 16 years now -- but I've got one for it, thanks to
a surplus early Herald or two. :-) Interestingly enough, it has one
"outward" crack in it...where, apparently, a starter drive exploded!? Go
figure.
But the HBRS4 does and always has had a very stout scattershield bolted
to the chassis. The shield appears to be made out of at least 1/4" plate
and "covers" a fairly wide area. Considering where one's feet are in a
Spitfire, I guess I'm just as happy for the protection!
