I have made molds and had stuff cast for years but my local foundry went pop. I made a bellhousing conversion for shoving chevy petrol/diesel engines in range rovers and landrovers, I made it universal for all the different bolthole variations and both hand of starter arrangement. The good thing about it was the locating dowels were in the same place for any v6/v8 chev.The bell housing mold took me about a week to make. Sold hundreds.
Made another mold and had some alternator brackets cast. Saved a time in fabbing.
Then had my own rocker covers cast. This mold was all wood so i had it engraved on top. I had these done as there wernt any for the yanks without holes in the top
I am making a bellhousing for the roadster because the geartunnel being so small shoved the engine to far forward, it now means the engine goes tight to the baulkhead, thats 6" more than I could have got it without the bellhousing.I have made enough molds but never had a crack at casting so wish me luck and all things being equal we might make a step forward in a decent screen set up for the roadster. Any casting advise anyone ??????????/
