Default WTB: Used tranny bell housing

You will have a problem with a type1 bellhousing and 76 and up 228mm flywheels.
If you want to start a Vanagon engine on the stand, you will need a 210mm or 215mm
bus flywheel.

I just saw a bellhousing FS on the Samba.

Wrong.
He will have a problem with a 228 clutch attached to the 228 flywheel, not
the flywheel itselves....

Wrong. He will have a problem with the flywheel itself, not the
flywheel itselves... :-P

Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite,
and furthermore always carry a small snake.

Thanks, fellas. A couple of the lads over at www.vanagon.com's mailing
list have offered their funky, useless bell housings.

Actually in Finnish we have a saying "puhua norjaa"
(to speaak norwegian), that means to throw up.
Same as "to speak to the big phone"

Silly me. It must be an international term. Maybe the
Norwegians invented it. What were they drinking?
