I recently sandblasted and painted my bellhousing. I wrestled with the idea to powder coat it and I still might down the line. For now, It looks nice and new. I still need to face the machined surfaces and retap threads, but that will be quick. This is a 48-50 bellhousing that I got from Dave up in Wisconsin. It has been modified sometime in the past to hold my pedal assembly while also mating to my SM420. My old 216 bellhousing will not mate to the SM420.
