I was going to add these last night but got distracted, I firstly did some.digging in my 64 parts book and my 66 one and found that the only part number for the case is 7006 - not ideal given the lotus box has different ratios and different diameters for 1st on the layshaft.

I checked the cases which got a bit stranger, the case the 1500 gears came from doesnt carry any other numbers other than this

4H11 which after talking with Pete doesn't make sense.

I think this is the case the 2000e ratios came with (I bought this box donkeys years ago). It has the 7006-D which must be based off the original 7006 case but is revised. It has a reverse switch mount so not from a mk1 cortina and has an extra Web on the side for strength.

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
