See photo in link: BELLHOUSING PHOTO Does this type of bell housing take a cover on the bottom? To protect the bottom of the fly wheel I assume... Mine didn't come with one when I bought the motor and bell housing, but I looked under my friend's Fleetline and he had some sort of cover under his.

Two pieces of sheet metal serve as covers in 1954. One vertical piece/cover and one bottom piece/cover. They get installed in that order. The stove-bolt screws for the bottom piece can be reached with a screw driver that goes up through a hole in the frame cross-member (on each side).

I believe it is 1954. Not really sure which type it would take but if you have something you think may fit, let me know.

Is there any way you could send me a photo for reference? That way I'd know what I'm looking for or I could just fabricate something to work like it. Thanks!
