    Re: New thread on Marina to Ford Type 9 gearboxes

    Hi, I bought what I believe was the last 5-speed converstion kit, either last year or in 2017. I have more or less abandoned the idea of fitting a Type 9 gearbox to my O-series engined Roadster (I bought a gearbox, then realised it wasn't the flat-fronted type that is essential for the kit to work). I also had a local engineering company make a copy of the adapter plate, in case I needed a spare. I could be interested in selling what I have.

        As a sub note, I have no problem with marlin2000 selling his kit.
        i would rather see it used, than left on a garage shelf collecting dust.

        The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

        Loads of Marlin Reference can be found documents here or there.

            Hi, sorry for the delay in responding. I have recently rejoined the club, and I don't know how to access personal messages. You could contact me at [email protected] if you wish.
