With all the bell housing gyrations going around in this and other threads, has anyone investigated redrilling a drawn steel "blow proof" housing? There has to be one that has the front to rear correct spacing to make it work.

The MB pattern could be drilled on the outer flange, if any bolts are inside the flange, a tube could be welded through the bell to allow attachment.

Going farther, an aftermarket flywheel maker should be able to drill a FW to a MB pattern.

I'm thinking modify aftermarket parts rather than modifying / adapting MB to fit aftermarket parts.
