Luegonigel Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Good morning, my pal is doing up his dad's old mkII Cortina and is looking a five speed type 9 gearbox. Any tips on commercial suppliers or does anyone have something surplus to requirements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtBuddha Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 There's a Type 9 Facebook group with all manner of good info about these boxes, and frequently boxes for sale. id recommend trying there with a wanted ad. It's unlikely a Caterham Type 9 will fit a Cortina as the input shaft is shorter on Caterhams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 They can be made to fit crossflows - there was a how to article in LF years ago - I think it involved a 1" spacer plate between the box and bellhousing.Also supplied by Caterham on the dedion crossflows.

GaryK Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I used BGH for my rebuild. Old school and very knowledgeable. Did a great job on my box which runs very sweetly. Would definitely recommend.BGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luegonigel Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 My goodness they are some price now aren't they now I've looked around a few websites. My mate has a couple of four speeds but wants a five so that might unlock some part ex or something with Road and Race or whoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul jacobs Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I also have a type 9 for sale, originally off the back of a Zetec, with only 2000 miles from new. I'm after £650, and am also down in Somerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
