Transmission Adapter Plate Drawing
Today I made a tracing of the exterior contour of the
transmission bell housing. After
placing a white sheet of paper over several sheets of cardboard on a smooth
floor, I inserted the two hollow alignment tubes into the transmission face and
then placed the transmission face down so that the dowel tubes pierced the
paper. With a sharp pencil the outline
was traced and the centers of each bolthole was estimated with a dot. I will
send the drawing to Mike Brown in California since he lists 1991-1995 318i BMW
Getrag transmission adapters that might be equivalent to the transmission that
I am using. His contact information in California is:
(831) 429 1907 and his internet address is www.electroauto.com/contact.shtml. I spoke with Mike on the phone Friday, and
he was pleased that I was retaining the 5-speed transmission in the build. Mike indicates that he can machine both the
adapter plate and the hub.
