Hi all, I'm after a type 9 box for my locost build. Theres so many out there, I don't really know which I need, so I hope you guys can help
me out on that one. Its being fitted to a '99 blacktop 2.0 Zetec. I think a 5 speed is preferable, I've been looking on fleabay but they are
too far away really. If anyone has one kicking around there's plenty of beer tokens in it!!!
Regards
Matt

There must be a breakers around leicester with a few sierras in no?? Half the fun is in the scraped knuckles and chat with the scrapper...
Otherwise pick up and old Sierra in the free ads and take it to bits.
Cheers
There a breakers in elmesthorpe nr hickley who have a couple of sierras. Its called Barrie Mills recovery or somthinglike that.
Barrie does recovery for racing Donnington and Rockingham so is sympathetic to the course! (He knows your going to pay for his services when u crash
at a track day )
yeah Ill give barry a call never thought of there. I used to go to Avon auto spares at rugby, but they seem to stuck up and really rip you off with parts. The guy wanted to sell me a 1.6 x-flow engine for £350 standard!! So i'm doing my best to avoid them now. ill give barry a call see how I get on. Thanks guys
if you look on the autotrader website on the right hand side there is a find a part service, fill in the details of what you need and whoever has one rings you with price ect. Or look in the yellow pages there are some Ford only breakers quite local to us or if your in no hurry I'm swapping mine for a T5 gearbox in the winter.
Barrie Mills certainly used to keep a stack of type-9's in a container just by the entrance. its a bit pot luck if tis a good one but i think i paid £30 for one from him. He sometimes takes a dislike to some people and will tell them he doesn't have a certain car in when you can clearly see one stacked up - normally people asking about nova's though.
