  1. The piece I had was just big enough to fit the bolt pattern (16" dia) but not enough to give the bell much of anything to actually be drawn up against. Your pictures showed the outside of the bellhousing is 17.5" to 18" in diameter. So close!
  2. Makes sense; thanks for the insight.
  3. Some quick research on that Audi 2.0 (known as the EA831) indicates that it does not share the bolt pattern of the EA827 (which I think is what even the current TDi engines are based upon).
  4. Boy that sounds like an impossibly hard to find combination of parts even if it does happen to share a pattern... plus I would need there to be manual trans. parts. I have heard the same with the 72+ AMC engines several times now.
  5. Although I have not personally verified, this is the TDi side of things:
  6. Multiple sources have stated that the 4.0 bellhousing bolt pattern is identical to all AMC V8s; if that is indeed true I used these images to do a quick n dirty check: This is the piece I scored and the quick tape measure markings I made from the two above drawings: (I did not make the existing holes) If you can't tell from the picture, the bolts themselves will be very near the edge of this plate... my gut says its just barely too small, but I just HAVE to know for sure!
  7. Pm on the way
  8. The adapter I'm wanting to make? No not really I suppose, It'll be making the rear of the TDi mimic the rear of a 4.0. I just had a 16" diameter piece of 6061 land in my lap yesterday and I want to know if it's big enough for the actual outside dimensions of the bell.
  9. Interested if anyone has a spare or leftover internal slave AX-15 bellhousing lying around they'd like to part ways with, loan out, or donate. Looking into making my own engine adapter and want to avoid removing my trans just for dimensions... worth a shot!
  10. I dig it! One of my coworkers is into old Limey stuff; very strange how they did some stuff.
  11. some people never grow up... myself included.
  12. love me some diesel swap action. keep up the thread
  13. Been here, done that. Good choice with the Eastwood stuff
  14. Interested to see how that plastic ball joint thingey goes back together. I was in mine a few years back to replace one of the bearings and it didn't go well Keep the pics coming!
  15. rust preventative! Thanks for the heads-up on the wire rub issue.
