SJ Gearbox bell housing to Engine (Metal) Gasket??

[Lin]

I'm in the process of putting a 1300 motor in my 410, with a 5 speed box.

I'm not having a massive amount of problems with the rebuild apart from being unfamiliar with cars, having spent the last 25 years working on bikes.

However, whilst searching for something else I came across this item, which appears to be a partial gasket that sits between the bell housing and the engine, my problem is that I can find no reference to it in the Zuk parts books or either of my workshop manuals?

Do I actually need one?? Any guidance appreciated.

Hi it’s a metal spacer that sits the bell house and back of the engine, I would say you need one

It is a bit more than a gasket, as the attached image shows, (not your engine)

You will need it as the starter motor bolts through it etc.
