Both of those arw a proper twat.....the engine i took out of that 6 i nroke, i had to take the whole bracket off and whack the intermediate shaft until it eventually fell out. Glavanic corrosion between a steel bearing shell and that ali bracket
It's probably cheaper to have it as all one casting. Someone finding it a bit easier to work on when it is 20 years old doesn't really matter to them!
