On this point I note your response is about the Sierra type 9 box, but can anything be done about this on the four speed box the car has? The gears themselves are findable but the complete sloppiness of the box is a bit of a disappointing feature in my view. If there is a solution do you have to take the box out or can you do it in situ?

Not sure on what internal options you have, the quaife box has a much better quality shift than the stock ford unit. You may find a difference between the single and three rail ford boxes any they are easy to get hold of now.

From a shifter point of view only this may be an option:
