Hi all I am trying to fit an j type overdrive gearbox to my 13/60....I have fitted gearbox but mounting plate to chassis is about 6 inches out to gearbox.....its forward on closer inspection I think I have a d type gearbox mounting plate (looked it up on canleys) my question is...looking at j type mounting plate (again on Canleys) it looks smaller and mounting to chassis holes look as if they are a different too ........is this the right mounting plate, next question how do I move my engine forward about 10mm as the propshaft is too tight and will not turn
Any help gratefully received as I'm at my wits end with it now

Thanks  for all the help,now have all the bits I need to replace gearbox ..........gulp......... Wish me luck

Hi all, probably a daft question but........anyone know where I can get a drive flange that fits a j type overdrive gearbox to propshaft it's 3 5/8 inch diameter,nothing I have on my herald 13/60 fits, my old propshaft drive flanges are not the same size thanks in advance
Also does anybody know how to wire the overdrive up or know of a kit to wire it up. I have a switch on the gearstick if that helps thanks

Thanks for the links and info
Showing off now,made my own spacers out of some 303 stainless bar at work (only because I didn't think of it till you mentioned it mazfg)

Just stripped my replacement swing spring for a herald 13/60 can you tell me where you bought the new bolts nuts and spacers etc to renovate thanks

Thanks Casper that was very good reading, I'll get cracking with some box section and, a welder.......

Hi all,has anyone fitted 3 point or inertia real seat belts to the back of a 13/60 convertible or know where I can find information on how to do it  
Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks for that Casper, new question, when it says working length,what does it mean? eg from where to where

Hi all, does anybody have a size diagram or know where I can find one for shortening propshaft on my 13/60 to fit a single rail j type overdrive gearbox thanks in advance

Thanks for clarifying that Nick,thanks for all the good advice everybody,off to ebay now to see what I can find!!!! Will be back for more help later when my Xmas money runs out,..........

Sorry Nick if I've misunderstood do you mean an overdrive gearbox or a standard 1500 dolly/spitfire?? The reason I want to upgrade is to give it better cruising speed and not feel like I'm thrashing it over 50mph, thanks for the help so far

Would like to add an overdrive gearbox to my 13/60 but keep the engine the standard 1300, the problem is I've no idea which type to use, now come the questions........
1.which gearbox should I look at getting
2.which differential would be best 3.89 or 3.63
Any other advice gratefully accepted
Thanks
