Subject: Re: Gearbox
Colin, Thank you for your input. I have the original OH box in pieces somewhere. It came to me in pieces and there are no serviceable components. The ZE box was a auto-jumble purchase and works fine but is extremely noisy in intermediate gears. I happen to have the Alvis box and if it will fit without having to cut any chassis members then I'll use it until I get the other box sorted. I will not do anything that is not easily reversible. I take your point on the "vintage" issue but the forum seems to be full of differing opinions as to where the line can be drawn on modifications.
Hopefully someone out there will have this conversion already and I can benefit from their experience.
I might also take up your suggestion and look for an OH box,
