Having just about given up finding a long shaft Type 9 box I`m looking for alternatives.I know about the MT75 box but I`ve also been told the Sierra diesel box will fit as it also has a long input shaft and is supposed to be stronger anyone know if this is correct?

Have you tried donor spares?

Hi Mark,

Longshaft type 9's are often available on Ebay, I've just bought a recon one for 70 quid. Another one is available right now, check out item 4524241524 (currently £25). Unfortunately that one's in S. Wales, but I'm sure others will come along if you keep a watch on it.

Got one ! Set off to buy an MT75 this afternoon,turns out the guy at the scrappy found one 5 mins after I left on Thursday when i last went looking for one and he put it to one side in case I came back.What a star,I can carry on with my chassis now

Ah well, I've probably just doubled the final price for some geezer in Llanelli. Hope he appreciates it.....
