Its a PA1, these ran either a Abarth, Fvc or Bmw. We did manage to borrow a Lola bell housing to test and it was spot on, even the mounts in the castings where exactly where they needed to be. The Bell for the Abarth is slightly shorter though.

Hi Wolfgang, Is your Lola with Vin at the moment? He said he had a T290 there this week.

I dont think Vin made any bellhousings
t290 at Vins is hu8
Pa1 osella could not run BMW m12 as they where not available to anyoneuntil 1974 March had exclusive rights to the motor in 73

Yes Helen, said they made one a little while back for a customer. All sorted now though, our one which was being made has turned up so all is good. Big thank you though to all for your help/input!!

Many thanks,
Mike

I hope this is not too late! I am owner of T290 HU-34 and recently had a run of new T290 bellhousings made here in the USA. My car has a BDG in it and there are no problems with fitment. Let me know if you are interested.
