I fabricated a new gearbox cover plate, and fixed a ford gear lever gaiter mount to match the position of the Type 9 gear lever.

I also modified the Mazda gearbox cross member to match to the Ford Type 9 gearbox.

Did a bit of co-driving for a mate in his BMW, a good result, 29th overall...

More to follow, once I have taken a few more photo's.

A fair few of us are using Imgur. www.imgur.com/

Much easier to use than clunky old photobucket. And for video, just post to YouTube and link from there.
