Default Sequential gearbox options on a YB?

Looking for info on this for my dad. He is building a Cossie turbo powered MK2 Escort and wants to fit a sequential box.

What options does he have? He was initially thinking of a Quaife 15g or 33g but he rang them today and was told they had none of these boxes left and would not be selling anymore gearboxes untill there new box the 66g (which is only in development stages at the moment) goes on sale .

Any ideas/comments lads?

Sadev and FFD as well, I think. Not sure if either are covered by what Tony has put above.

Also think Bara Transmissions were working on a sequential box too... PM Marco on here as he might know.

quaife do a 60g sequential box already for the yb its a totally new box as the old ones are shit,
i run an elite il 350 in my mk2 escort cossie,it has broke once but i sent it back and they sent me a brand new box back within 3 days.since it has been back in its been no trouble what so ever.
elite are middle of the road,tractive/drenth are the bollocks but they are over 10500 for these,the elite will come in at about 6000 the same as the new quaife

What bellhousing are you using for the 60g to YB? Looks like a type 9 bell.
