Trimming bell housing
Iv'e heard people trimming the bottom of their bell housing for road clearance. My problem is starter clearance. I am using a smaller starter motor. Can I safely trim 1/2" from the bell housing for frame clearance at the starter?
Thanks for input.

We trim them all of the time. we always seem to get into clearance problems either with the ground or somthing else, like you have explained. Now the bad news. Im sure you know this but I thought I would still remind you, according to lakewood and Im sure all of the manufactures are on the same page as well as some of the sanctioning bodies, any type of modification like we are talking about voids the safety and integrity of the piece. Somtimes you gotta do what you gotta do...................good luck

Silverback: I was thinking of trimming just the bottom of my Lakewood scatter shield for a tad more ground clearance. Not quite up to the washers under the fasteners. Are you sure that would void the strength and integrity of the unit? If so, I'll just leave it alone. I haven't bottomed out yet. :eek: Rich
