    Or, do you cut the Z32 flange off and weld that plate on?
    you need to remove the bell housing and have it machined so the plates sits into the housing

    I see, so the right length is kept?

    So the material is machined from the face of the Z32 flange? And you still have enough thread to bolt it to the plate?

    Really nice project, looking awesome. Really wish my metal working skills were up to that kind of standard.

    Love what you've done with the diffuser
