Hello Joe,
A customer brought me a late model Spitfire gearbox (single-rail) with O/D =
to use on his MKII GT6 engine. The bell-housings are different, I=E2=80=99m=
 having trouble running down a bell-housing that will adapt.=20
Do you know any GT6 folks that might be able to help?
Hope you=E2=80=99re doing well
Best regards,
Ken Tripkos
