A special mention goes to Mr Chris Wilkinson who covered his car in gearbox oil to collect my Type 9, compensated with a few beer tokens of course.
After watching a Type 9 Ebay auction for several days and seeing it end with no bids, i emailed the seller to see if he would take an offer. It turns out he had
sold it already, but also had a few other "surplus" boxes. A few emails later and i had secured a standard Type 9 from a Ginetta race car. It had been serviced well and regularly, but had been used in a race enviroment. It's missing the input shaft bearing retainer (nose cone to most of us) but a kind gentleman on the MG BBS has offered me the parts i need.
I think an essential purchase will be a quick shift kit, to shorten the throw and make a more positive change.
