Re: Mitchell overdrive compatibility?

Thanks Tom for your input - hopefully I get it right - otherwise it could be an expensive mistake ..... if I buy a new r&p when it's not needed

Re: Mitchell overdrive compatibility?

I kniw this is an old thread, but how 'skinny' does the torque tube have to be to be an early rear end?

My coupe has no rib on the centre, but the torque tube is the same diameter as a later tube.

Re: clam shell interchangeability

Thanks for the advice Jim. I followed your written words, and sourced a pair of long-out-of-production B into A float-a-motor mounts, and some pedal and wishbone mounts. A friend of mine was making a...

clam shell interchangeability

I know that it's probably impossible, but can a clam shell from an early production A (multi-pieced brake cross shaft) be fitted to a post-32 transmission?

I am trying to get another shaft to replace the one in the steering box - mine having been turned down to now being too small to fit to ford steering wheel. A BARNer has offered me a rhd 34 box, so...

Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability

So that will just mean that the sector shaft will hang out further out of the steering box if fitted to an earlier steering box?

Re: rebuilding a pre-36 steering box - parts interchangeability

Oh well, that idea seems to have gone nowhere.

I have been informed that a 36 sector is way too short to use in a 32-34 steering box, as can be seen in the attached picture.

Thanks for...
