Hi Larry,
The T-9 Ford box is what I have fitted to my 1275 Sprite.
I did it as a DIY set up - didn't buy a kit other than the bellhousing
and a new clutch. The rest is ex scrapyard stuff.
Sounds like yours has the same fitting instructions - cut out the
cross member and bolt up the replacement section / tranny mount.
Extend the gearshift hole rearwards for the new lever position. Only
difference is that I shortned the aluminium gear extension housing to
bring the gear lever nearer to the normal position just 3/4" further
back.
Not sure what the "fibreglass tunnel cover" is for in yours. Sounds
to me like it is what they sell for fitting to a Morris Minor. I'm
not sure you need that bit!
Pleased with mine. Short stubby lever gives a very quick shift - ask
Daniel ! - and the ratios are spot - on for my mildly tuned 1275.
Good luck!
Guy
