Hi all, I posted on but no one replied, hopefully better luck here. I'm going ahead with conversion to type 9 on my trials car to give a higher top to bottom gear ratio. Could anyone advise links on…Continue

"I'm researching and looks like Sierra 1.6 has 190 clutch with 23 teeth so that's what i need"
"190mm clutch is the 1100, 1300, 1600 non mexico clutch. 20 spline won't fit the type 9.
215mm is for mex and larger 23 spline does fit the type 9."
"thanks all. It's 1600 cross flow. Yes, 5th gear will be extremely tall, but that's what I want. So I thin I can run my original flywheel and maybe even bell housing (need to offer it up asap).
Adrian, you say you've got the 190mm…"

"Paul, you obviously have a lot of money to spend :p You can do this cheaply with production line parts if you know which ones."
"Hi David,
I wouldn't normally advise using the type9 on an Xflo as they don't really have the torque to pull 5th, but as your car looks to be set up for sporting trials then I guess what your really looking for is the lower first gear. I…"

So, £60 quid in foam and leatherette and a superb job by the mother in law sewing them up, and here are the new seats. I've used sticky backed velcro on the back to make them removable as they will get wet and muddy trialling. All good to go for the Exeter trial next week.

Worthwhile fitting a drain pipe at the lowest point (not found a dutton that doesn't leak somewhere yet)
Also worth sealing up any sort of wood used for the seat base, maybe fitting a couple of 1cm bits of closed cell foam under it too, just to lift it out of any water that may creep in.
Seat belts should mount to captive nuts under the chassis (normally just nuts welded to flat plates, welded to the rails.) but not sure they were fitted to S2's.

Ok, no problem. I didn't get time to look, but will need to remount the seat belt lower fixings. Will there be a weld but on the body or need some spreader plates?

Here's the pic with seats removed. I sat in and just cushions would seem appropriate. Confirmation from the experts please?

Yes, triumph front end, Cortina rear end. I'd just been researching and concluded it must be an S2.

I think I need to pull the seats out on Wednesday and have a proper look at my options. I've been looking on youtube and ebay and foam, leatherette and a ply wood base seems a simple way to make a seat at minimal cost.

Mine has 'seats' moulded into the GRP tub and the only padding (other than my extensive food reserves) was a slightly padded seat cover that was stuck there.

I've got a set of back seats from a peugeot cabriolet to be cut and shut into my S2. Just going to savage the foam out with a sharp knife until they fit in the gap.
I always thought the S1 S2 and B types were just 'cushions'.

I just searched the site and found some pics and dimensions. I'll have to make some (or get someone who's a lot better than me to see some...)
