It seems I've been done. Just bought a car only to find on close inspection that its got a smashed and cracked Ford type 9 box and bellhousing. Anyone got a spare bellhousing for 1.6 or 2.0 Granada Sierra? Also the gearbox alloy mount has been smashed with half of it missing so ideally I need an alloy extention from a type 9 too or a good tig welder in York. . Currently peed off!

I know Ian Jamisons place but he can be very very expensive. I've taken the box to CSK Fabricators near Pocklington who said they should be able to weld it fingers crossed? I've now also found another ford bell housing two so hopefully on the right track. Would have loved a new Alloy one made by a couple of outfits but they are ridiculously expensive at around £260 each. They give a weight saving but my cast replacement cost a wallet saving £30 and I'll get it powder coated in silver!
