Default mtx75 into mk3 escort

Do you have to modify the chassis leg to get the box in, also what gear linkage and does the rs2000 version have a LSD fitted ???

Cheers, David

you will need a custom linkage made from a combination of two others

The chassis leg will need mods.

no slip as above, can be fitted but need to if you have a 3 piece shaft

Mounts from a mk5/6 will be no good for this conversion.

An MTX Box is much better than a ERS box IMO. How about having a decent modded MTX from bernie and then fit it in a ERST/FRST which can been done

The best way is to replace a certain section with a pre-made laser cut panel.
