I *think* the output shaft of the type 9 came in two different sizes - it is larger on the 2.0l. I have a two-piece prop from 2.0 for sale. PM me if you find you need one.

the type 9 out put shafts are the same size 1.6 and 2.0 but cortinas are diffrent the 2.0 is bigger you need a prop from a manuel 20/2.3 cortina or from any late mk3 auto or any autp mk4/mk5 :superman:

Can you post a photo of the front of your axle? Does your doughnut have 3 or 6 bolts?

Ok then you have two choices. The axle doesn't make a difference the diff flanges on the Koln and Atlas are the same (at least I've never seen one any different) it's the gearbox output staft that's different on the 1.6 vs the 2 litre and type 9 (the latter 2 are the same). A good number of people have found that the standard doughnut prop from a 2 litre will be OK with a type 9, some have found the doughnut bolts foul on the type 9 as it's a bit longer than a 4 speed box. So your choices are:

 

1. Probably the cheapest way to do this, you can remove the 1.6 flange and replace with the 2 litre one. Assume you know about needing to put a strap/jubilee clips around the doughnut to stop it expanding when you remove the 1.6 flange. Good chance this will work OK.

 

2. If you want to be absolutely certain of success you need to get hold of a Capri/Cortina auto prop with the UJ front rather than the doughnut version but this will cost a lot more with a front like this: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574629005&toolid=10001&campid=5335900709&customid=&mpre=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-CORTINA-MK-3-4-5-1-6-2-3-PROP-SHAFT-MANUAL-/300710780708?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4603c25f24

 

If you want to go down route 1, I have a flange I can part with. pm me your number and I'll give you a call over the weekend to arrange if you'd like
