Note that if you use the Burton parts, the release bearing they sell for cable operation is 34mm ID.

The Merkur boxes may be the only ones with 36mm snoots. They sell a 34mm replacement, 

 

I went with their concentric hydraulic setup   nice

 

My car already has a hydraulic setup with a girlin MC, so i spoke to Anthony (from Burton) yesterday and plan to get the concentric hydraulic setup for the T-9 as well as other bits.  I have been looking to find a 7.5" 23 Spline clutch disc to use with my current AP pressure plate but so far been unsuccessful. So will likely get that from Burton as well. 

 

As far as consumables for the refresh, planning to get all that from Chris at Redline. Have ordered lots of bits from him and he always sorts me out. Will also get the upgraded aluminum rad/fan kit from him, unless there is a source stateside.

The top two bolts don't fit, but the side ones do. I have some options, but also considering a different bellhousing depending on how much i want to simplify my life.

Tracsport / SP Components has a decent variety of Ali BHs to suit many needs.  One could build a all alloy T-9.  Steve has been in the business a long time.  He was the supplier of T2 boxes and Ital axles to Cat in the 90s.
