Zetec gearbox plate.

Is the plate needed between the gearbox and engine?

If so has anyone got a template for zetec to type 9? Longshot i know.

Yes it is needed it helps locate he starter.

CVH Sierra one "should" fit with minor adjustments ---- Pinto Sierra one needs big lumps cut out.

In a word Yes you do need the plate.
I used a standard pinto one and attacked it with a nibbler until it fitted.

Yep - Sierra 1.8 CVH attacked round the middle area with an angry grinder does the trick quite nicely...
