I've built a 1293 S unit and looking to mate it to a later rod change box (from a 1984 Mini 1000). Just wondering what primary gear is needed that will fit the end of the crank on the engine but notch into the gears on the box. Would an MG Metro primary gear be what I'm needing?

ian, did you get my email? i sent it to you 3 days ago, ian.

It sounds like you'd just need a 1275 A+ primary gear.

That is if the gearbox is fitted with A+ drops....

Thanks guys - yes gearbox is fitted with A+ drops. Hopefully will get a second hand one locally somewhere.

I bought an A+ primary gear on ebay when it arrived on close inspection it was not one I would want to use and binned it - bought the one that is the unit now from Mini Mail at Newent Gloucester and learnt that second user genuine items from someone who knows works for me, Tim has supplied loads more bits for my project

Was able to get sorted with the correct gear locally from one of our Mini autotesting chaps. Next job to stick the block onto the box and then drop it into the hole in front the Mini!
