Thumbs up Help Me Please On 31 A

I have spent the month of Aug hunting for a hook up for my 1931 A trans to the torque tube bell. I bought a clam shell at the frog follies and it is the wrong Mine needs 6 holes to bolt it together. the one i bought only has 4 bolt holes. Some one who understands my problem Please lead me in the right path. Bless you! Don in Indiana

Give Bert's a call and tell Steve which tranny and driveshaft you have. If they are stock 31 parts, then I'm sure Bert's would have a good used one for you.

Should there be a grease fitting on the clamshell?

There are two bolt spacings for the six hole cover even and uneven, you
need to match the bearing retainer on your transmission. I think the four
hole in 32 up.

Bert's is definitely the best bet. They have large inventory orig parts. They can get you whichever variant you have and they'll ask you the right questions for the fit. Be ready to measure between bolt holes to get the right one.
