Minimize The Destructive Effects Of A Clutch/Flywheel Explosion
Lakewood Bellhousings are manufactured through a hydraulic forming process known as hydroforming. This process minimizes the thinning of material as the bellhousing is being formed. Hydroforming allows the maintaining of proper material thickness in critical areas. All bellhousings are manufactured from high quality 1/4'' thick steel and stress relieved after forming, resulting in a stronger bellhousing. Lakewood Bellhousings have been tested and meet or exceed S.F.I. Spec. 6.1, when used with approved block plate. Lakewood Bellhousings are designed to contain a clutch or flywheel explosion with a possible deformation or elongation of the housing. All bellhousings include the block plate and are marked with an S.F.I. Spec. 6.1 serial number. These bellhousings are designed to fit most passenger car applications as listed. Finished in a safety red enamel.
Features:
Machined on precision drilling fixtures to assure proper bolt hole alignment.
High quality steel is hydroformed in order to ensure a uniform 1/4'' thickness throughout.
Hydroformed starter pocket.
Blanchard ground mounting surfaces for precise alignment of engine and transmission.
Pre-drilled for full containment block plates.
Heavy-duty mig welded clutch linkage brackets where required.
Mig-welded thread inserts for transmission bolt pattern and clutch adjustment pivot ball.
Bellhousings are supplied with block plate and meet all S.F.I. specifications and are approved by most major racing sanctioning bodies.
Note: 1-Due to very close tolerances, the bellhousing must be dialed in to ensure proper flywheel clearance. 2-Will not work with Bendix-type starter, 1965 and earlier. 3-On all 1981 and later Mustangs, we recommend upgrading the clutch linkage with a Hays Part No. #490-76-228 heavy-duty adjustable clutch cable and billet aluminum clutch quadrant.
