T5 Adapter Plates 140-160

Well folks...I got tired of hearing all the horror stories and decided to make up some T5 adapter plates. I've got two different styles. One is for an M41 bellhousing, typically bolted to an OHV (B18/20) engine. The other is for the M46 bellhousing, typically bolted to an OHC engine (B21/23/230).

The M41 adapter is your standard adapter and requires use of the T5 throw-out bearing and requires some minor modifications to the clutch fork to work with said bearing.

The M46 unit allows both vertical and tilted orientation of the engine. It also requires no modification of the bellhousing and allows one to use the stock Volvo t/o bearing and clutch fork. This is of particular interest to anyone who wants to run a B21/23/230 in an upright orientation in a vintage Volvo.

If you're interested in obtaining one, please email me using the email link on my website at www.avalancheperformance.com. The adapter plates are not on the website yet. I'm totally overhauling the website and another will replace this one soon...
