that flange is ok
the streangthe comes from the uni that ya put in there dont get a cheap one i have almost finished a metaloligy phd at tafe and this tells me that what ya looking at is a good flange just a referance a good weld 1 inch long can hold 1.2 tonne all depending on the quality of the parent metal/main body of material you are welding so if that is the 1 you are using it shouldbe o/k as it looks to be in real good nick jason

I have no idea what that is, but it looks metal, metal is good
Only thing I hate about the cold, I never want to wash the car.

So many possible flange jokes. Can't choose one...!
I talked to alot of people, and there are 8 second VL's running that style flange so they can't be that weak. Must have had a bad experience with a stinky flange in the past! Shouldn't be able to pop this trans, keas is experimenting with transbrake valve bodies in the C-series boxes now (I think for ea_ba_turbo's car). So as soon as he is happy with them I'll probably upgrade. Be a nice change from a T5, which seem to pop without even trying... :( - John PHD (Flange) |

I'm pretty sure you said that you got yuor bellhousing custom made at a place in Geelong to suit the C series box, any clues as to what place that might be? I was looking in a car mag andthey had a little snippet of a company that was starting to make them due to the high demand of e-series people turbo'ing their falcons, but they did mention a company either.

That looks like a serious wide open flange. When are you going to stick the bolts back in the flange!
Looking good John what is the ETA on it? |

mmmmmm......hotness!
Do the people who did your bellhousing do only auto boxes? I need to fit a T56 to my car - I have been told that BA bolt pattern is the same as earlier models, so a XR6T bellhousing should fit, but I can't seem to find one....got any ideas? |

As for the company, I can't remember the name but its the same crowd that makes the Racer Pro cylinder heads I think. WIth the flange, maybe I should find a BA flange? I heard younger flange is always better? - John |
