Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the t5 gearbox?

Want to see if it fits down the locost tunnel.

Or does anyone near oxford have one that I could come and meassure?

Chop up the tunnel and build it back up around it!

Or, if you have an ebay account, you could ask

Or anyone else selling one on ebay

Yes I am watching it on ebay, and may ask him, he currently has a couple of T5s for sale.


Just wondering if anyone has the measurements to hand, or is local then I could take some measurements (probably easier).

Does the T5 have the same prop connecter as a Type 9? Or is it completely different?

There are some approximate measurements (say +/- 10mm) of my set-up below, but these don't include the width unfortunately, which is probably the most important dimension. I can get some better measurements for you, but not until the week after next.


V8 + T5 dimensions

FYI, the output shaft is approx 27" mm diameter with 25 splines. Not sure if that's the same as a Type 9...

excellent chaps, that is very helpful

why do I never find these things when I search??
