davethorn123 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 hi all,somebody should know this,ive just fitted my 20xe motor and type9 gearbox into my mk1 escort,but forgot to get the thin steel plate that fits between bellhousing and block .i have used a spiggot bearing on the end of the input shaft.Can i get away with not using the plate as its only couple of mm thick or will it cause me problems??

livewire7116 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 The plate is meant for ford engines! you have XE now
birdy Posted January 3, 2010 Report Posted January 3, 2010 used to just throw them away, never caused any problems not having one.
