	Having now sorted a donor gearbox thanks to Weblefeck (Danny) I am sorting through the ins and outs of fitting it in my Vitesse. what I need tho is a piece of Aluminium plate approx 1/2" thick and about 9" square to weld onto the Triumph bell housing to machine it to suit the Ford box. Anybody got any kicking about or any ideas where I can get a piece from without having my pants pulled down ??

	Metal Supermarkets is probably your best bet. You're up north a bit so you've got a decent chance of having one near you The only one down south is in Park Royal.

	local weld/fab/engineering/laser cutting place ;-) if you see a bloke on the shopfloor you may well get it for beer token money
