Bell housing questions

[midgetracer]

I was cleaning up a bell housing for a project car and it appears different from those I have previously seen. The pedal shaft has a boss that sticks out further than any I've seen. The pedals have no bushings although they have grease fittings like the later model A's. the throw out bearing pivot shaft has grease fittings on both ends with longer bosses to accommodate them. Can anyone tell me the application for this bell housing. The access panel door seems smaller also, but I have not measured it.

That is a 1928 clutch housing for the 1928s that had the multiple disk clutch.

Are the pedals different? I was hoping to use them on my 30 Phaeton since they have so little wear on them. Is the shaft diameter on the 28 larger than the later ones to make up for no bushings?

Also measure the pedal shaft size. 1928 multiplate is 3/4" and the later single plate clutch housing pedal shafts are 7/8" diameter. Also the top hole on multiplate is wider than it is tall, while the single plate hole is taller than it is wide. The AA top hole cover plate is pretty much square.

Are you sure about the pedal shaft size,I have a multi plate clutch setup on the bench now and the pedals have no bushes and the shaft is 1in dia,
it also has a spring to return the clutch pedal.

Yes, because I had to make a new shaft for my multiplate pedals.

I will check tomorrow,maybe the shaft is stepped where it goes into the b/housing to 7/8 dia,
The pedals have no bush so they maybe bushed ones with the bush out,
The shaft the run on is definetly 1 in dia.
This vehicle came from a farm and was on there from new in 28.
I will take some pics tomorrow .
Also being an Aussie new vehicle it may be a mix of parts.

,,Aussie pedal shafts are bigger diameter for some reason ,,
