Type 9 blocker bars

Has anyone got a blocker bar for 1st/2nd on a type9?

I'm having a gearbox rebuilt and one bar is damaged but no-one seems to sell them

Thanks

Try these people, I've not used them before but they seem to stock them: https://www.bearingkits.co.uk/ 

If not BGH might be able to help http://www.bghgeartech.co.uk/html/bgh_home.html

Cheers @KevanP tried those guys but they hadn't got back to me. 

However I have now sourced a used set from Paul at

What are blocker bars? That's a first for me.

Was a first me me also, they are what aligns (or blocks) the gear change until the syncro has sync'd ... pic below isn't great but shows the blocks

The old Ford one's used to be made from pressed steel, and wore over time. Most will make solid steel one's now, which are much more reliable and heavy duty.
