Sandy 189 Posted August 10, 2008 Mk1 Picasso 1.6 is the easiest to find, you need the intermediate bearing carrier too, it's unique to the Tube (TU engine BE box ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve@cornwall 100 Posted August 10, 2008 Don't know if it's of any use, but a neighbour is scrapping a saxo vtr , don't know what ratios it uses, but imagine it would bolt straight on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tony perks 1 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Don't know if it's of any use, but a neighbour is scrapping a saxo vtr , don't know what ratios it uses, but imagine it would bolt straight on? Yep sure would fit but i want to use my close ratio be box and tran-x diff with 4.8 CWP!!, Besides the MA BOX IS PANTS.

tony perks 1 Posted August 10, 2008 What do you mean by the intermediate bearing carrier, Sandy, do you mean the jobbie on the back of the engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 189 Posted August 11, 2008 That's the one yes. You'll need the linkages and levers off a 205 BE set up to bodge up too, unless you take the entire cable operated set up from a Picasso. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest zeddy Posted August 31, 2008 Sandy, I notice you are in Truro, which is no too far from me. Would you be interested in fitting a TUBE conversion to my XS. I'm finding the MA box is too lightweight for rallying. Cheers Isaac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
