    Rocket gearbox mounting in std mk2 escort road rally car

    I've just dropped a 2lt pinto with a type E rocket gearbox into my mk2 escort shell and found that the standard tunnel mounting points are outboard and rearward from the grp4 Hd mounting bracket. Is there an alternative bracket i should be using? Or do you just engineer your own solution by modifying the shell and bracket? Any help would be much appreciated

    when fitting a T9 you need some relocating blocks, maybe this is what you need
