Hi Mart, do you have the Volvo O/D? I have a couple of Triumph and Ford J-Types awaiting some investigation (I started looking while I had the '34, but perhaps I'll get onto it this year with the B). The Ford (Scimitar) one wouldn't be too useful as it has a splined output shaft, but the Triumph one has a flange like the Volvo appears to.

Hi Andy - my od unit came from some sort of a vauxhall or something - it has a splined output but I have the prop yoke - hopefully it's forged so I can weld to it. I have a plan in my mind, but have not cut up any early ford parts yet.
I'm pretty sure you can mix and match parts if the basic unit is the same - if the front end of the scimitar unit is more easily adaptable, you could use it with the flanged output from the Triumph unit if that is the easiest to adapt.
I'm hoping to connect to the output casing without welding a flange on so that will be interesting. Maybe I should be looking for a different output but plan on welding on a flange - something to consider I suppose.
Mart.
