Hello Paul, the complete kit is priced at £195 plus postage. Parts are in stock.

This kit enables the Di Mt75 gearbox to be mounted to either the Essex V4 or V6 engine.

The kit comprises of the adapter plate, all the fixing bolts to secure it to the engine, a spacer for the clutch pivot and a new spigot bearing.

This kit uses the stock Essex clutch and flywheel used with the Essex engine.

Would it be hard to produce a MT75 + V4/V6 Cologne adapter plate ?

Fairly straight forward job to do, we didn't bother doing these as there are some original Ford SVO kits about and did not think there would be much of a market for 'copies'.

The Ford kit comprises an adapter plate as well as a bespoke starter and flywheel, SVO engine mounts are also available.

If you wanted to fit a Cologne to a Di type Mt75 then you are best off looking for one of these SVO kits. There was one listed on UK ebay a short while ago, so might be worth a search.

Hello

does anybody fitted mt75 in to mk1 V4 1.7 with two wheels in back (firetruck)? Is it possible with this kit? If so, how the car worked?

Thanks, Ondrej

Hi there, the kit was developed so it could be used behind any of the Essex V engines and would provide you with n overdrive 5th gear. When using it as a replacement for a 4 speed gearbox you would need to reposition the gear lever in the cab floor and alter the prop shaft. The kits are available from ourselves, PM if you would like further information.
