fury gearbox mount
mrwibble - 14/3/11 at 09:32 PM

as per usual the fury build manual is terribly vague. it states i need a "cortina gearbox mount" for my type 9. can anyone advise on this, i'm also having trouble visualising exactly how this fits, top/bottom, single or more?

a normal type 9 mount will fit it

not to worry i think the one in question is second hand, i'd rather buy new.

thanks for the help.

Ive got one of the caterham ones if you want to come and have a look and try before you order one

here's some pics for you (this ones actually from westfield, but they are the same thing and westfiled put there price up)









(the one in the background of the first pic is a sierra mount)

The one you need in a Fury is the top one in mcerd1's picture which is fitted to the Sierra and Mk5 Cortina. The other one (used by Caterham & Westfield) is too small, (it was on mine!!!)

so your mor like my dax then...

but I'm going to try and yse the escort/westfield/caterham mount with a bit of modification (its a slightly different height aswell as width but I'm goint to have a go anyway because I don't like the wobbly sierra mount)

try this thread: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=138921
