Great information here. I have not taken the car apart yet to mount the Frontline T9 kit. It is a 1954 RHD and the Frontline kit was ordered for a RHD mechanical clutch. The Traveller has a 1275 running a ribcase with the mechanical clutch release. Anyone have thoughts on a mechanical clutch release fork in this application?

I would suggest you are best served by a hydrauilc clutch set up, although many different Ford vehicles that utilized the T9 gearbox employed a cable operated clutch.. There are readly avialable 'bolt in' hydrauilc clutch set ups for the M Minor that use the original clutch pedal. I'm not familiar with the 'frontline' conversion, but the original 'high gear engineering' kit came with everything required to fit the ford 5 speed.. and they supply the parts to support their conversion separately when asked...

@ Rick,

If running a ribcase gearbox on a 1275 engine the ribcase fork should work. The 22g168 fork needs to be used in case of a 5-speed conversion on a 1275cc engine as far as I know now.
But a 22g168 fork is not easy to get. I found mine as a new part at Moss in UK.
