Zetec / Type 9 gasket
Matthew_1 - 7/12/04 at 10:24 PM

Does anyone know of anyone selling a sandwich plate to fill in the gaps when matching a type 9 to a zetec - otherwise I guess its the hacksaw and a piece of 20swg ali ...

Cheers.

I took the bell housing off to replace the gasket between it and the gearbox. While it was off I drew round it on to some ali sheet. I then took my spare zetec block, lined up the gearbox mounting holes with the template I had just made from the bell housing and drew round this. It just worked out from there. Pic attached (not mine but the design is identical.)

Yup - I'm intending to use one of an 1800 CVH Sierra

Cheers folks - though finding a CVH gasket is proving impossible !
