You want one becuse they are rare???? :roll:

The 091 were used in the later T4 type engine'd Bay's and the T25 too.
They have a stronger case because they have more bracing built into the case, hence the '6 ribs'. The ring & pinion are stronger too.

There are 2 types though. The 'Bay' version will fit strait into a, er, Bay.
The one fitted to a T25 needs to have the nose from a bay box fitted so the selector does what its ment too.

I saw something on a thread a while back which explained with pics better that I can with words & if I find it, i'll post the link.

6 ribs were fitted to later 1.7, 1.8 and 2 litre buses i think? better ratio fourth for cruising, so makes for a much more pleasant motorway experience.
