AC and Triumph gearbox differences
« on: November 28, 2016, 11:12:40 »
Hi Just taken a couple of pics of the 2 Gearbox's. The AC one and the Triumph one with J type overdrive. As you can see the bell housing on the Triumph one is a bit smaller, so bulkhead clearance not a problem, the Triumph box is a bit longer but again as the engine is some 2 inches shorter than the AC Weller engine, the whole caboodle will sit a bit further forward, thereby giving me some playroom at the rear end for installation. In fact looking at the gearbox mounting will almost be in the same position.
   
   The gear lever will obviously come out further back in the car, at least I wont keep banging my knuckles on the dashboard anymore.
   
   Here is a link to some pics.

   If you are not aware the AC Mos box is for sale see Ebay. Asking around £350  but maybe cheaper dealing direct with me.

A car is only original once, but, you can modify it as many times as you like.

My car my rules.
