Am i right in thinking this is a herald box all works perfectly with over drive. Its was in our 66 spitfire and over drive is operated buy an extra stalk next to indicator stalk

Looks like it is a single rail box which I believe was never fitted to a Herald, the letters from the gearbox number will tell you where the case started life.

The number should be on the top of the main case.

having seen a single rail fitted into a herald 13/60 the gear lever spherical is too low and the hole in the herald tunnel blocks stick movement

and you need a big hole and leather gaitor to make it work ok,    ( this was a £800  professional replacement cock up which left owner with no gaitor or no 4th gear )    wonderful  !!!       ( maybe  you could  raise the assy )

Don`t know about this Pete,i fitted that box in my 13/60 and it`s fine with the tunnel cover and carpet etc.Works a treat and makes a big difference with the 3:63 diff as well.

 Steve,  ive only come across this one ,  ( non OD )  and looked at mounts/ cotton reels and supports to see if they differed , no all pretty much std across the  non OD  single /3 rail  range , maybe the od mount sits things better , 

the hole and gaitor  mod was the only thing to do as the spherical was 2+" below the tunnel  so hole was nearly halfway up the stick....crackers!

hes sold it now so cant revisit the disaster

Hi Pete,

 

Never tried it with the cotton reel mounts,just the usual O/D plate type.Weird.

I do use Ford gaiters on both my cars though,much neater.

on the Vit6 I used a shhhh  .......  MGB gaitor and chrome  ring  ,   again a vote for much neater   

edit added pic.. crikey .. looks grubby ... its really quite shiney  (well it was )
