Tye 9 Box

[Guest greengrass]

Hi to all, new to this forum so go easy on me. Well into my zero build now, dont know if anybody can help me? Just put the factory supplied zetec in with a type 9 box but can't seem to get the front pulley central to the chassis due to the bulge in the bell housing. Does it not need to be square to the chassis or do i need to modify the bell housing? Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi

 

Type 9 needs two mods to bell housing and a change in release arm pivot.

You can see the mod i made to my bell housing in this picture. I just took a hacksaw to it

Make sure you round off all the sharp edges so you don't create any stress raisers.

Seven type cars often have engine offset to passenger side to give a bit more room in foot well for drivers feet to fit on peddles. Try sitting in a cateringvan and you find that any one with wide feet need not apply. Pressing all 3 peddles at once is an interseting experiance that low flyers know all too well.

 

In other words check with GBS but in all probability it was designed this way for a good reason.
