"Wern't" cheap....With gasket set & shipping, $325.00.  Which I'm good with 
as long as the part is as advertised.  Still not sure.  The vehicle was already 
a PG, so there would not have been a pilot bushing.  This change out occurred 
at a foreign car/race car shop, supervised by a (Corvair) friend known for 25 
years.  Unfortunately, he didn't do all the work himself....I get the parts, 
and say what I want done.  I used to do EVERY bit of my own work, but age and 
available time have forced me to look for alternatives.
As the run out is on the horizontal plane (like a poorly bolted mate up), I'm 
hoping the fix will be loosen mounting bolts (from hole in bell 
housing....I'm told this can be done), reposition, retighten.  Am I dreaming?
