Default type 9 gearbox mount which one?

Hi, Could somebody please tell me which gearbox mount i need for the type 9 gearbox. I have a mk1 3 door sierra 1.6 base model and at the point of mounting it up and the mount i have came from a 1.8 cvh sierra but its far to wide as the mounting holes on the 1.6 are narrower and up inside the tunnel. Thanks in advance

The tunnel on the early Sierra's is different, your going to have to fabricate something to make it fit or modify the tunnel.

I will see if i have any pictures but its been about 12 years since i put an MT75 in a mk1 ( for sombody else ) and it was pre digi camera days so may take a while

So I'm not sure why yours doesn't fit because this guy knows his Sierra's.
