Can someone tell me what type of gearbox mount the type 9 has in my crossflow 7?

Trying to look online and its throwing so much up that I don't really know what I'm looking at (if you know what I mean??)

 

Thanks

As far as I knew ....

Rear gearbox rubber mount is from an early Cortina and is not now available from Ford (Caterham supply only)

Although Ebay is throwing up some (Cortina Mk1 gearbox mount ....and Burton list them also

Thanks guys, its not an issue as such however my 7 is an ex race car (91 to 95 heavily competed in) and sports a sintered race clutch and as a consequence if I'm trying to manouvre the car around either town or in the paddock on a track day, I sometimes get a juddering and subsequent clunking that happens when the the clutch isn't fully engaged or as I'm trying to slip the clutch, so I thought as its probably led a hard life for the past few years I'd look at the mounts to see if I can replace or strengthen those. But I think my choices are either learn how to drive it properly, accept that this is going to happen if I'm not careful or replace the clutch. Trouble is I like the nature of the car on track as gear change and response is immediate even if the clutch is quite hard to use around town.
