Default focus rs box into s1

does anyone know whos done this conversion???
i know jano sells a conversion kit for mtx 75 boxes,but will this work with a focus box?? also ive been told the focus box has a hydraulic clutch,so how would i get around this???????
is there parts from other fords which will help me turn mine into a hydraulic clutch so that i can fit one of these gearboxes into my car????

Its more or less a std MTX75 with an LSD. Ive looked on microcat at the gears, They all seem to be the same as various other boxes, So its not uprated apart from the Diff

So in that case it would be better to take the diff out and fit into a box which is a better and cost effetive fit into a fwd ford like F/ERST etc...

In simple terms fit an MTX75 which can be found for as little as £40

If you have the extra money to spend fit an LSD into the MTX75
