I know that the magazines have ads for swapping Toyota 5-speeds onto Triumphs. Might that be another option?

Oh, and I believe the overdrive was more properly the "Laycock De Normanville overdrive".

The Toyota 5 speed and the Ford 5 speed are both viable options, and pending the outcome of this may be on the table. The attraction with the "Laycock De Normanville overdrive" is to build on RQ Riley's original plans and team those with the 3.27 rear differential. The ability to have six-speeds when completed should compliment the small Kubota D850... ... Keyword = Should....
