I bought my Lakewood bellhousing from a member on the forum. It is heavy and red in color. I painted it black. Mine took .014" offset dowel pins to get the TIR within .004. That is the middle of the typical range for pins. .007, .014. .021 are typical. I used the Rob Mc offset pins for the first time. Very nice and easy to use. They have a set screw to lock them into place when your all set. The ancient hydroforming equipment used by Mr. Gasket/Lakewood was from the early 1950's. Crude, but effective.
