Was gonna say 6 speed quaife h-pattern but did a quick search & seems like they only do 4 & 5 speed ford type e & 9 boxes now in h-pattern... 
I think I'm going to go for a Tracsport semi helical set, with the alloy main case etc.I decided a 6 speed sequential would be too hectic, and not needed with the Duratec torque.

Can confirm it works well! Though my mechanic said it was a right bugger to fit - it's a tight fit in there.
Have a funny story, when I had it fitted, it was so heavy that I had a bad foot from the pressure when I got home.
After chatting to Stuart from PP, and having a look at my pedal box, it turns out my clutch pedal was well over an inch shorter than the standard clutch pedal. No idea how that happened, but once I got a hold of a standard clutch pedal it was brilliant
I'm oblivious as to what clutch pedal I actually had. I thought it might have been a high effort brake pedal, but that's a straight pedal while this one has a kink in it (as the clutch pedal should). It's a bit of a mystery!
Stuart was great though, he helped me out on the phone and chatted to my mechanic too. Would gladly buy from Premier Power again.
It was easier to buy the whole package from him, than hunt around for bits that would match.Have a funny story, when I had it fitted, it was so heavy that I had a bad foot from the pressure when I got home.

I found it difficult to find the smaller organic clutch plate with sprung hub to be honest.
Everyone tried to sell me sintered plates with solid hubs, or multiplate clutches, which would have been horrible for road use.
Pedal effort shouldn't be a problem for me, as I have an AP floor mounted pedal box for hydraulic clutch to put in, with pull rod cylinders, so I can play around with cylinder sizes.
OPI dry sump kit turned up the other day, so as soon as I got home from work, I was in the shed making a test fit.
What a lovely bit of kit.
Trying to find a dry sump tank with the quantity I want, the features I want, that will fit.....
I might remove the passenger footwell box extension to put it there.
I've seen a tank I want, but it's tight, so I plan to make a cardboard mock up to see if I can get it in.
