Its a shame that a close gear ratio set is so damn expensive.
Yes the T50 Toyota gearset is very expensive and rare but a used Ford Type 9 is not too bad price wise and fairly common. I think a complete conversion could be done for around 1200 euros.
Here are a few money saving tips:
Find a used Type 9 CR (Quaife or Tranex) on that auction site. (600)
Use a standard AE86 clutch cover and a MGB clutch plate. (50)
Modify standard gearbox mount, easily done (20)
Modify standard release (throwout) bearing, just bore it out to fit Type 9 shaft (20)
Modify front half of propshaft to fit Ford output shaft (100)
Get Raw engineering bellhousing and spigot bearing (300)
Put it all together Smile
Numbers in brackets are approximate prices in Euros, my computer does'nt have a Euro key !!!
