Anyone on hear put a ford type 9 gearbox in a dolly 1850?
Yes I have done that.
Parts required:
Ford Sierra/Capri long input shaft T9 gearbox, these come from either a V6 petrol or any diesel.
T9 adapter plate (available from Canley Classics to order).
Sierra gearbox mount
Sierra speedo cable
front section of a Capri (T9) propshaft
1850 bell housing
1850HL clutch components.
Sprint tunnel (preferred).
The gearbox remote needs to be shortened to relocate the gear lever.
The tapered nose of the input shaft has to be removed and a new taper applied.
This is all quite straight forward really.
The adapter plates are designed for Heralds, one 1850 bolt doesn't line up so a new tapped hole in the adapter is required.
The Sierra gearbox mount can fit a modified Dolomite o/d cross member.
The Sierra cable fits an 1850HL speedo and there is no need to have the speedo recalibrated.
The 1850HL clutch plate fits the Ford splines (the 1850HL plate was first used on Fords in the 60s) and the
Triumph hydraulics all work because the 1850 bell housing is used.
