biletting bell housings, and gearbox housings?

[Kagetsu]

Does anybody know of someone that can billet bell housings for gearbox's? Trying to find someone, but nothing comes up with my searching technique on Google.

You mean CNC from billet?

Or cast?

I'm not understanding your terminology...

You will not be able to fork out the money for a bellhouse cut from a billet, if you can thats cool but your wasting your money.Look at a bellhose and imagine a solid piece of billet alloy machined down to the bellhouse, thats what it sounds like you want from the title.
You get billet adapter plates, which i think you mean.These are a plate that matches the bolt patterns of the bellhouse and the engine or bellhouse to the gearbox.
Is it for the v12? if so i can sort one for you without much drama as i would imagine you want to put a 154/160 behind it??

billet = mucho $$.. especially that big!!

much much cheaper to get one cast up... or if you didn't want to bother making the patterns (ie, accuracy, shrinkage etc), cast a hollow blank of reasonable thickness and CNC from there...
ask that Niteparts guy in NZ how he went about his.

I've already cut my own adapter plates, but it'll most likely interfer with the transmission tunnel due to the possitioning of the nuts (will require two plates and then have them joined), I might try an alternative method to all above. ^_^'

What I was thinking of, was recreating the front piece of the Getrag housing but without the bellhousing, instead having a flange to bolt on the standard 1GZ bell housing.

Do up a tech drawing of it and ill see what i can do.
