t 5 adapter
I want to thank all of you that have responded to my question on the t5 adapter for a model a bell housing . I have found the info helpful . I contacted Mr. Laine ,was helpful also but doesn't have the car anymore. What I am looking for is the thickness of the adapter plate its self.I have my patterns all I need is this measurement .It seems that the adapters that are out there are for hook ups for flat heads or auto trans and years after 31.

Re: t 5 adapter
I measured the one that I have with a dial caliper in several places and it is .500" +/- a few thousandths, depending on where I did it.
It appears that it is just 1/2" CRS that was cut to shape on a burn-out machine and then the holes were drilled and a coat of primer to prevent rusting. Hope this helps, Good Luck! |

Re: t 5 adapter
OK, What is CRS? Apparently it's not aluminum if it needs primer to keep from rusting.

Re: t 5 adapter
The one I have measures 1/2" also. I can't imagine it being made of cold rolled. I'll betcha' a large Dr. Pepper they are all burnouts from A 36 hot rolled.

Re: t 5 adapter
Hi Gents,
Does this adapter plate go between the original clutch housing and the T 5 ? Regards Chris |

Re: t 5 adapter
It mounts between the bellhousing and the transmission.

Re: t 5 adapter
Your term clutch housing is probably the same as our description as a bellhousing.
Here is a picture for you. Craig |

Re: t 5 adapter
Tks Craig,
Sorry I meant between the flywheel housing and the bell housing, but it came out all wrong. It makes sence that it should go between the Bell and the T5, otherwise the pedals will be hanging in the air. Tks for the picture. Regards Chris Cape Town |

Re: t 5 adapter
Miff, you say that you now have the patterns for making your adapter? Where'd you get yours, and are they 'actual size templates,' or are they drawings with measurements, but not actual size? I'd like to get an 'actual size template' for making my own adapter if anyone has such, or if someone can direct me to a source.

Re: t 5 adapter
I took my pattern off the back of the standard model a bell housing . I used paper ( like the back of a large note pad) drew center lines , centered it on the housing ,then took a hammer lightly tapping around the edges and the holes. It's like making a gasket. I did the same to the front of the t5 with a different paper marking centers also . That way I will be able to match it up with the bell housing pattern. Then measured all opening and bolt holes for correct sizes and reference.
