Side view of the AX-5

The AX-5 from the front with bell housing and clutch slave cylinder installed. Friendly neighbor included.

A driver's side shot of a BA 10/5 for comparison. Notice how the BA 10/5 doesn't have the regular ribbing on the driver's side compared to the AX-5. The passenger side of the BA 10/5 does have regular ribbing. The main case of the BA 10/5 is made of two pieces bolted together, where as the AX-5 main case is one solid piece of cast aluminum.
