   seem to be struggleing to find 1, no one seems to stock them round here, and for some reason they are twice the price of a vtr one??, would even consider a second hand one if in good condition, i have tried gfs, unipart, pages eurocar parts. anywhere else?

   GFS or GSF? Why don't you just get a cheap aftermarket backbox?

    The standard back box for a VTR is a different shape to the standard backbox for a VTS - (VTS one being about double the size).
    However, either will fit - no problem.
