Dimensions or drawing of a Type 9 gearbox spacer, the one used to mate the V6 type 9 to the standard bell housing and Pinto.
If you have a spacer for sale ands its not silly money i may even buy that.

Make one , just use the bell housing as a pattern and a sheet of 16gauge steel. Making one to match my RS bell housing to crossflow . Bit hard to cut but use a jig saw with metal cutting blade and take your time.

I think you after the spacer that goes between the gearbox and bell housing.

Caterham sell one. No point in trying to make your own - far too difficult

Cheers

why not just get a short shaft type 9? I might be able to swap yours for mine.

why not get some box steel and make the spacer to go between the bellhousing and the actual box bit (instead of bellhousing and engine)

or does it mess up the clutch actuation?
