Looking for help sourcing 4D56t > V5MT1 bell housing from someone outside the US...FOUND

[ARDOR]

I'm in the process of gathering parts to convert my '87 D50/MM macro cab 4x4 to diesel and am having a hard time tracking down the bell housing I need. Details on the project so far can be seen here: https://forum.adventuredrivendesign.com/index.php/topic,702.msg6157.html#new

With so many members from all corners of the globe on this forum, I was hoping someone outside the US might be willing and able help me locate one?

I've been able to track down many V5MT1 gearboxes online from various breakers around the world, but none have been willing to separate and sell just the bell housing...

The unit I'm after mates the 2.5 liter 4D56/4D56t diesel motors to the 5 speed/4x4 V5MT1 transmission with the iron case; it looks like this:



I've found this unit on Ebay, but the clutch slave cylinder mount is off....https://www.ebay.com/itm/MITSUBISHI...INE-4D56-T-HOUSING-BELL-OEM-USED/322882759585



Any help sourcing or acquiring the proper bell housing would be immensely appreciated, thank you

I get to Thailand occasionally and might be able to source you one. I've done it before for myself and then passed it on to another forum member. PM me.

After striking out everywhere I looked, I reached out to Truck Monkey Garage in the UK to see if they might have, or be able to source, a 4D56t > V5MT1 bell housing; I follow them on instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truckmonkeygarage/

As it turned out, they had one on hand, posted it on Ebay, I bought it on Wed, and it arrived by Fri afternoon from the UK:



It was off a European market K74T L200 pick up truck, I'm fairly certain the bell housing is part # ME581178 - https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/unit?c=Mitsubishi&ssd=$*KwGarr-8_Oz36uGbmce2nMLW9vHvnpGcnY-co9OL2o2Si_SO3d2AipOc0tbc7tfTi8GSi_SNhIvNwtPFweufnpzqme-atd3PisrHjZKbgo6E3dmKm5yCmZiejt3dioqTjJ6am4Gdw828mZie6ZiZnprEq8HV19jKwOnVjpLd2YiL7ZmYmuycsMmnioWOjcWLlIzTtNSc_YyDiIvNwNPFw4rs4Ovu5ZiOjAAAAAB9YGKJ$&vid=0&cid=2&uid=129732&q=

There is also the possibility that the Hyundai version of the bellhousing may work as well, part # 43110M1000, but I haven't been able to 100% verify that.

I'd also like to extend a large and public thank you to PLH, he reached out after I initially posted this and offered to take a look for the bell housing I was after while on a business trip to Asia. It was an incredibly generous offer and I'm very much appreciative... Thank you.
