Type 9
Anybody got an idea where I can obtain a gearbox mounting rubber, either 2.8, or 2.9. I have tried the ford dealers round here, and get told that they
don't stock them any more, and can't, (or won't), get them.

The standard ford one is more sloppy than a sloppy thing. It has enough movement to put your gearbox in another county!
I bought a new westfield one for the princely sum of £8.50 direct from westfield.
The mounting bracket is home made

I've just done the same as Mark. It may be useful to know that you can mount the westfield mount on at 3mm thick steel plate attached to the
bottom of the chassis rails and it keeps the gearbox at the same height as the sierra one which is mounted on top of the chassis rails. If you place
the two mounts side by side it doesn't seem as if this is true, however the sierra one compresses quite a bit when the full weight of the gearbox
rests on it. The Westfield one is virtually solid.

Nice shoe!
Is it an MK supplied feature or an aftermarket job?

I knew you guys would comment the shoe!
Actually, it is a Swedish reference shoe for building pedalboxes

I didn't measure it before I fitted it, but it does fit nicely although off centre due to the transmission tunnel being asymetrical
