ATTACHING GEARBOX TO ENGINE CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
The Type 9 gearbox as supplied by BGH Geartech including the alloy main case and lid from Quaife which I purchased in a bulk buy on Blatchat.
The box has been fitted with a short input shaft which combined with the Raceline bellhousing will get the engine as far back in the engine bay as possible.
