I have that very battery with a 45amp Lucas alternator and have various electrical accessories and it does just fine. The battery terminals are the opposite so the battery front needs to face backwards.

I was a bit disappointed with the neoprene gaskets. Very thin and the excess that protruded from the rocker cover started splitting, leaked as well. I ended up using a flat sheet of cork and making my own.....still leaked a bit though!

17amp cable would have been what was used originally, like this: http://www.autosparks.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1286 though I have started using thin wall cable as it's not so bulky: http://www.autosparks.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1297

I would also try rotating the prop 180 degrees at the gearbox flange, then if no better at the diff flange, then again at the Gearbox flange so you have tried all 4 combinations. No idea why this can make a difference, but it can.

Many years ago a mechanic once said to me that anything under 100psi is not an engine, it's just moving parts. I've just had my 13/60 head skimmed, the guy that done it told me the heads were 3" thick from the factory, so maybe the wrong head as Colin/Nick suggested? I'd be inclined to take the head off and measure the CR, not that difficult to do and there are plenty of online calculators to do the maths for you.

Thanks for the replies. It's a 3 synch box so hopefully will fit without the shims. Cheers

According to the Canley Classics Website, the correct length for the propshaft for a Herald fitted with a 3 Rail OD box is 46.5", however the Non-OD Vitesse propshaft is 47" and I have been told that this will also fit. Anyone done this conversion using the Vitesse propshaft?

Think you would need block to be line bored to fit bearings/camshaft, might be an expensive option. I replaced mine (also GE small crank) with one from Jigsaw Racing, talk to Mark he can recommend one for you.

Thanks Keith. Box came with an angle drive and longer Speedo cable. Any ideas what the larger clutch plate is from?

Mark Hi Mark, The gearbox has a round flange, but after popping the top off I can only see 3 Synchro Rings (image below), am I missing something here or do I just happen to have a 3 Synchro box with a round flange? 9110 wrote:If you go to the Canley Classics website, technical info section, it lists the triumph models and required propshaft lengths. Cheers, Dave. Great Info, thanks. Presumably the measurements quoted are from/to outer edge of the flanges? The sliding prop I have measures 43 1/2" (retracted) to 45 1/4" (extended), so the only car this could possibly fit would be a Vitesse with OD I guess? Or could just not for a Triumph? With the bundle of bits I got with the gearbox was a clutch driven plate, it has the correct spline for the gearbox and exactly the same as my non-OD box, but it has an OD of around 7 1/8" as opposed to the 6 1/2" for a standard Herald. Any ideas what the large clutch plate is from? Should I be using this or will a standard Herald clutch be fine? Thanks
