Gearbox mounting

Post by **DARK STAR** » Tue Nov 07, 2017 6:56 pm

Not sure if my gearbox is the same as a Middlebridge although the engine is.
It is an RS box, which I seem to remember is a modified Type 9 (?)
And the gearbox mounting rubber has to put it mildly, disintegrated.
This is at least reassuring because I was getting worried about the noise that was resonating through the car

Can anyone identify it please so that I can order a new one.
The photos are not brilliant because the camera doesn't fit in the space available and I can't at all see what I am photographing ...

Thanks Jim, I'll go for Burtons if I can't persuade a french site to

recognise it

According to Burtons mine is a Cortina item, the hole spacing is different on Scorpio, Capri, Sierra ...
