Yes they are goth required for a Tremec but I do recommend using a Scatershield like the McLoed if you plan to "play" in the Cobra. If you just plan on street driving and the occasional run thru the gears the aluminum bellhousing is ok but for any type of racing you need a scatershield or Kevlar Levis.

The reason being is in a Cobra the flywheel is parallel to the Calf of your leg and there is only a little fiberglass seperating it from you leg. Spend a little more and get a good Scatershield.

I ran a stock bell housing on my T-5 but I was always thinking of the potential of it taking my leg off so I would never do any speed shifting or droping of the clutch on take-off. Most Production cars are built so that the flywheel is ahead of your foot so the potential for disaster is not as great as in a Cobra.
