You'll have to relocated the gearstick hole (mimic how factory did the RS2000's - with a chain saw if you go by appearances LOL) OR reduce the length of the linkage tailshaft, and need a slightly reduced length prop as the 5th gear makes the box about 25-30mm longer (although weirdly about the same length as a RS Type E box!) And doing g/box swaps is better with Mary Jane!

Working on classic cars drives you to it!

I have a type 9 on the end of a crossflow in my SA 1600 Sport, it was done in SA , and I'm pretty certain the gear lever hole was made with a hatchet 😬

I've redone it properly , the handbrake lever will need to be persuaded to one side to stop it getting tangled up with the gear stick.

I wonder if the Australian Type E Extension housings would fit a Type 9? Are the extension housing mountings the same?
