Which Prop Shaft ? ( Cortina mk1 with Type 9 )

[Keiths Cortinas 4]

I intend to fit a Type 9 5 speed box into my MK1 Cortina using Retro Fords bellhousing mated to a 1600 GT Crossflow with Clutch kit.

Is there a Prop shaft i can fit that will bolt straight on or will i have to have one made up ?

cheers K

I think you will have to get one adapted , you need the gearbox end to be from a type 9 / cortina auto or 2ltr mk3/4/5  and the diff end same as the original from your axle -+ right length - someone may know the correct length . find a prop the right length ( or longer and send them the correct measurements ) and those parts and send them to a prop refurb company to build you one up .

Some used to use a 1600 avenger I believe.

Get the measurement from the box oil seal and diff pinion and give Neil at 105speed  ring on 01234 826827 office hours. They have them made up new.

When was the last time you saw an Avenger outside of a Marvel film?

Know a couple of people with them although lost contact due to the Toyota virus.
