Type 9 gearbox mounts

[petercoll]

Anyone got some pics of a standard type 9 gearbox mount ?

With the engine out of my Striker, I thought I might aswell replace the engine and gearbox mounts, but I am unclear as to precisely what I currently have in place.

Thanks,

Pete

There are two different types of Ford gearbox mount (that I know of) which can be used with the type 9. Theres the Mk2 Escort/Cortina type which Caterham and Westfield use, which is phyically smaller but according to the guys on Locostbuilders is stiffer, which looks like

Theres also the type used on the Mk4 Cortina and Sierra, (this was the type that was supplied with my Fury Kit) and this looks something like this;

Cheers Matt,

I managed to get the old one off the car this morning, and it looks like I have the Cortina/Sierra one.
Just bought a QH one on Ebay for a tenner, which is less than I was expecting. The one I have just taken off is a Ford original part, so it was probably due for replacement anyway.
