Very!

The Sprint is an integral part of the casing casting, whereas the 1850 is a bolted to the casing separate component.

Well, there you go then!

Time to trot out my favourite FE Smith mantra.....it would appear that I'm none the wiser, but at least better informed!

Cheers Alun!

No, that's a 1500/1300 bellhousing! An 1850 has the clutch actuator hole at about 1 o clock as seen from the rear not 9 o clock like that one.

I'll have a quick butchers outside, I may have one in the scrap pile.

Yes. I was just trying to show the difference between the two as the 1850 is very similar. I knew someone would have to point it out.
