    I had an aluminum Browell and it was very nice, but I am looking to get a titanium scattershield. Who is the preferred manufacture for a titanium version?

    Thanks!!!

    The aluminum with the inner liner meets SFI specs and doesn't offer less safety than a Ti can. I would be very interested in your thoughts of why you need a Ti can? Are you a clutch or a converter car?

    Converter.
    Yes, the aluminum cans meet the spec, but I've been told the titanium cans last longer; and the can I'm looking to buy is 8-5/8" deep and was told that was very deep for aluminum. That is the extent of my reasoning.

    I'm all ears......what are your thoughts?

    Does the Q/D stick through the can that far or is the convertor longer?

    Browell and Pro Bell is a two year cert. Trick is one year cert. Can't remember on the Biofonte. Ti can is heavier though than the aluminum in 6.3.

    Ask John Hale or Mike Janis about our light weight bellhousings. We are the only light weight bellhousing with a (2) two year certification. Aluminum and Ti are (1) year our re certification cost is $75.00 for the two years.
    Give me a cal,l I have made a few converter drive bellhousings for the lock up converters for both Quick drivwe and Lenco-Drives.

    You sure about that? I'd check with Browell as all of his cans that I have seen lately have a two year cert.

    Since you posted, I have a question.
    Your bell is $2779 for an aluminum, Browell is $2075 aluminum. What makes your bell worth $704 more than Browell? I've seen lots of Browell's--quality is top notch.

    Just asking since I have never considered yours because of the price. Is there a material difference, or tighter tolerance? If it's truly worth the extra money I would be interested.

    Too answer your question, our bellhousing is a Hybrid. It is a multi layer construction with an inner stainless steel shell and an outer shell of aluminum bonded together in a special process that we developed. It's like a bullet proof vest. Three layers of protection with light weight.
    The certification period was changed May 15, 2015 to a two year minimun. Since our bellhousing we not aluminum they were not required prior to that date for a one year re certification.
    If you would like more info call me.
