If anyone hears of a nos box...let me know...it needs to be the Monza spec one rather than the 400 version (if any exist)...does anyone know if the Monza box was used on the early Senator too, before Vauxhall used their own version???

Does it have to be NOS? My dad's got one which was reconditioned by a local specialist at huge expense not too long ago, it's a spare so he may be persuaded to part with it.

And as far as I know that box was only ever used in Monzas and one Senator A.

Did the Carlton GSI get a different box?

I'd give Derek at GM6 a call.

I'd forgotten about the Carlton, I think some early 12v cars may have had it, definitely not the 24v though as they'd gone to hydraulic clutches by then. Now that I think about it the Senator A2 with the 2.5 engine probably had a 265 as well, but you'd struggle to find one now I think.

Carlton and Senator B had different boxes, I'm afraid, the 265 was only available in the Senator A / Monza 3.0E.

The Senator A 2.5 was a 240 box, same as the Manta.

Pete, if you track down a new box remember the bellhousings are handed. If you get stuck, I'm pretty sure I still have the RHD bellhousing attached to that other box I have and you're welcome to it.

Cheers,

Nick
