The H uprights are fine as per book with a type 9, but move the tranny tunnel uprights(K) back or they will foul the back end of the box. I didn't and have 1/4" of clearance on either side. As for the axle - I have fitted a capri axle and hope this helps

I left K the same as book - hence my problem!

I cured the problem by getting a westfield gearbox mount which I recommend, only £10 and will save you HOURS of pratting around with the sierra one. Rescued attachment TunnelClearances.JPG
