Type 9 box flange clearance
Hi all.
Just trial fitted my type 9 gearbox into my GTS chassis and noticed a little clearance issue. The doughnut sits about 2mm from the outside edge of the
transmissin tunnel.

I am guessing that as this is a 1600 box, that I have the wrong flange. What flange do I need and where is best to get one?

We used the front section of a Capri prop that has a knuckle type joint and the correct spline to fit on the Type 9 which gave much more clearance
We shortened our own prop though, if your buying one or having one made the just specify the correct ends for the job.

So if I dont need this doughnut do I weld the prop to the shaft? Therefore becoming one end of the prop. I haven't made the prop yet.

Best thing to do is buy one ready made,safer in the long run.
Measure from face of g/box to diff face tell them what gearbox it is and what diff.......prop geezas do the rest..........easy

You replace the doughnut with the aformentioned knuckle joint which is welded to the other half of the prop by a pro.
or a completely new one bought of the correct length

As before
The Transit prop fits and does away with the rubber coupling. I found a MkII one in the scrapyard for £5.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
