Dannyboy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Anyone any idea which Sierra the Caterham Type 9 comes out of??? I'm trying to source a replacement quickly..... I've read that it's the V6 box with the slightly longer ratios....Is this true??? if so...does that include the XR4x4 boxes/ XR4i, V6 Ghia models etc????

Mark Durrant Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Danny Speak to Phil at Road & Race on 01959-525105 and I know that he is expecting a type 9 in the near future that has been removed from a fellow competitors car in class 2 who has just fitted a 6 speed box Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Richard Price Posted February 27, 2006 Area Representative Share Posted February 27, 2006 .....has been removed from a fellow competitors car in class 2 who has just fitted a 6 speed box I wonder who that could be - Ill bet it's the same fellow that was asking questions about ally bellhousings a little while ago ❗ 🤔 Expensive game this sprinting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Danny My CC build manual for de dion 1994 vintage cars states the correct gearbox is the XR4i, Ford part number 1645418. There is no statement of the ratios. Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Perry Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I know from conversations I have had with Phil that in the past he has been actively bought V6 boxes from varous scrapyards. He showed me his store of these a couple of years ago and there were a couple of dozen in there ready to be converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I may have posted something about bellhousings some time ago but surely you don't think it was me I find it hard to believe that anybody would stoop to just throwing money at their car to try and win! How pathetic is that? Personally I will just rely on talent (hmmm... might have to rephrase that depending on this year's results!!). Anyway, I can safely say that it is not my gearbox as I have still got it. On the other hand, in discussions with someone who rebuilds gearboxes recently, they said that type 9s are getting hard to find an/or expensive from scrap yards as somebody is buying them up and shipping them abroad by the container load - irrespective of condition!
