Bellhousing Suggestions?
I'm gathering parts and talking to friends and figuring out this whole transformation of sorts that my car is undergoing currently.
One thing I am looking at having to do is clearance the bellhousing for the remote bleeder for the slave. This concerns me a bit with the cast aluminum bellhousing that comes stock in these cars. I want to make sure that under the stresses of what I plan to eventually do with this car I am not weakening it and risking failure.
I know QuickTime makes a bellhousing for these cars, and I don't mind spending the money, but what other options are there? I read in a post from back in 07 that RPM was going to be offering an SFI Bell for $375 shipped, but what ever happened to that? I can't seem to find any other info beyond that. Are there any options besides QT?
Thanks!

Buddy of mine who purchased the same HOWE hydraulic throwout bearing I did and had to notch his bell housing out so the line coming off the slave wouldn't pinch. Oddly, I saw Cleetus McFarland had the same exact issue on Leroy recently too and looks like he has the same one also. I guess I could always return the HOWE and revert to a stock style RAM or Tick slave but I have been using HOWE stuff for so long on my other racecars and trust it.
Additionally, I want to protect my feet also lol If for some reason the clutch or flywheel were to come apart, I would like a little bit of insurance over a hunk of aluminum that you could break by dropping it off the back of a pickup.

I'm specifically looking for an SFI 6.1 Containment Bell. If Quartermaster is the only option, I'll buy it. Just didn't know if anyone else made one. I had seen in other threads that RPM was going to make one but don't know if that ever happened.
