[NOBBC] Winter Car Projects

OH NO!

How does that happen? Did it crack? I'm not that familiar with the way 
the coupler is retained; I know it's a splined sleeve, but what keeps it 
located longitudinally? I seem to recall the bell housing on your car is 
magnesium, right? If so, you are REALLY lucky it didn't get blown apart, eh?

There is a company making high-strength muff couplers here in the 
states, as I recall...

I'm waiting on UK vendors to respond to my parts purchase orders so I 
can get the Elan Coupe back together, but may have to pay more locally, 
since they seem to be unmotivated to make money.

Good luck, Wendell.
