KayTee Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Anyone ? I have and want it for a rocket-type Quaife box with FloTech case, if that helps. Cheers - Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 The speedo cables are the same for 4 and 5 speed boxes so I'd think the right angle gearboxes are the same for both types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayTee Posted December 10, 2001 Author Share Posted December 10, 2001 Thanks for replying, Chelspeed! Well, are the internals identical? No b###y idea ! Does anyone know if these 5-speed 90deg drives fit 4-sp Rocket boxes ?? THANKS !! - Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Turner Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Sports, Rockets and 5 speeds all have the same speedo cable fitting and the right angle drive fits all three. The speedo cable for a 5 speed is threaded at both ends, the sport cable has a thread at one end only, this will not fit onto a right angle drive but will fit directly onto a rocket box.

KayTee Posted December 11, 2001 Author Share Posted December 11, 2001 Just consulted someone who is 'in the know'. He said the following: " MT75 is electronic, the type 9 in circlipped and the rocket is screw on" So, they do not fit ?!? Ao ... *sigh* ... back to the original question: does ANYone have a speedo-angle-drive for a rocket box for sale? If not, what's the best place to contact for a new one, what's the usual price tag, etc. ?? Cheers! - Karsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Turner Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 As I said before the Sport, Rocket and Type 9 have an identical circlip fitting and are fully interchangable. A Caterham angle drive will fit the Rocket, alternatively use a Sport cable without the angle drive. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 I agree with Paul, the rocket box is just a different set of ratios in one of the standard ford four speed boxes. It uses the same circlip fitted speedo cable as both of the standard Ford four speed boxes and the five speed type 9 box. The right angle drive-box that fits any one of these 3 types of gearboxes will fit the others. The MT75 is a different kettle of fish and may well have a completely different fixing but won't fit a caterham so who cares? So far as I know no recent (since 1970) Ford gearbox that has been fitted to a caterham has a speedo cable that screws direct to the gearbox.
