I am taking a spare Flaminia engine block to have a crack assesed. If your casing mark is still in doubt I can ask advice from this contact of mine who is in the business of casting new parts and repairing casings
made from alloys. Including melting down and reusing motorcycle casings.

Thanks Richard, I will bear that in mind.
I am not planning to dismantle the gearbox initially but I will take the selector cover off to get a better look. I will fit it into the car as is, apart from a clean up, and will asses it's condition on the road.

Hello all.
I have been working on the Flaminia but neglecting to post any updates. Here are some photos of progress. Mostly dismantling, cleaning and painting. I did add some seat belt mounts, well the top ones anyway. I have been visiting paint shops and think I have decided the way to go. Favourite colour at the moment is Grigio Newmarket. I know it wasn't used on the PF coupe but I think it will look amazing. I like to think that if you had asked Pininfarina nicely they might have done a special order.
I did find a little rust in one of the inner sills and am hoping to do this myself before the car goes for paint. I also still have to make the front bumper infill, although I have made a pattern.

I got some parts back from the machine shop for a couple of modifications. The pulley is to drive my air conditioning compressor.
I ordered a spin off oil filter adapter made by flexolite, they said, for flaminia and aurelia. It certainly didn't fit my filter housing, being the wrong sized thread, as well not being able to seal with the o ring they provided. It would not have fitted an aurelia either, I felt, as the shoulder on the threaded part would not pass through the body, as intended, because the hole was too small.
Thinking that this was going to be a worthwhile modification, given the frequency of oil changes required (If I am thinking of doing an extended trip this may even be necessary whilst away) I decided to design my own, which you see here. It uses a standard filter seal rather than an O ring and copper compression washers to seal the threaded part.
I finished the parts in satin black so as not to look too out of place under the bonnet.
