Blow proof bells

I got my e-mail back from Ross, His only comment was "you should not have any flex on our new Bells".
Oh well!!

I tried to copy and paste and send this thread to him but was unsucessful and wasted 2 hours trying. lol

yea i got an email back from Ross saying pretty much the same thing. He says they have no more problems with deflection since july because they have been welding the starter pocket cover to the bells and offered to send me a weldable one or send my bell back to have them do it (both are really huge hassle considering its all in the car and ready to go) but i think im going to take him up on the offer for the weldable cover anyways. He said they have been doing this since july, but when i called him about the original problem it was august and he never mentioned this weldable cover which is kinda weird, but we'll see how it goes i guess. I also sent him a link to the thread, so he has read it, but he told me that its not an issue anymore? guess we wouldnt have really known unless madart had the proper bracket included to see if it still is a problem on the new ones

I will post pictures tomorrow. Got in a hurry and didnt snap any. I also was going to pre install it in the car and then paint it. I said screw it and just installed it. I will pop it off in a few days and paint it. I was getting excited about the test run with new engine etc tomorrow......Couldnt have some silly paint stop me,haaaaaaaaaaaa!

It will be a piece of cake to make one but Ross should come up with the correct part for his kits. Shoot it only took me an hour or so, and believe me I am not that smart!! Come on Ross......

Hey Mad, i dont blame you for wanting to get er together and take her for a rip (this deflection is actually one of the things that prevented me from taking mine for a spin before the snow came). No rush on putting the pic up, whenever you get a chance man, id just like to see how you did it so i have everyone's input on it...by the way, i think you stated this earlier in the thread, but does your bell have a welded on starter nose cover?
