: Hi Dan,
:
: Just getting ready to reassemble the
: T50 project that I bought partially
: completed by PO. I had a dickens of a
: time finding a new input shaft bearing
: (68mm X 16mm) and some other tid bits,
: but I've collected them all - except
: ONE.
:
: The Toyota drawings show a spacer
: between the input shaft bearing and the
: front cover, typically numbered 33311F.
: The spacer, if available should be one
: of six different thicknesses, based on
: some kind of tolerance issue.
:
: Do you remember this spacer in your
: projects?
:
: I may have to make my own, so if you or
: anyone else knows the inside and
: outside diameters of the damned thing
: PLEASE let me know. Of course, if you
: just happen to have one laying
: around.....
:
: Thanks! - Jim M
:
: BTW: I believe this Mod of yours (T50)
: is freaking BRILLIANT! (Hope I don't
: screw it up... )

: Thanks Mark.... it can be done much
: easier, as I have learned later on by
: talking with and seeing others who
: tried it. For example- it is possible
: to use the existing toyota input shaft
: without cutting, as one of the triumph
: friction disks will fit the spline
: pattern. The stock toyota bell housing
: can be used too by redrilling the bolt
: pattern. It is far simpler this way-
: but the downside is the shifter leans
: toward the passenger side a few
: degrees. (boot covers it though) You
: can probably do it easy with the mig
: and saws mentioned, along with a drill
: press.
: I think there are a couple of readers
: here on this forum that have done the
: T9 conversion. It may take them a while
: to see your question and comment. I've
: never seen one installed yet, just
: several toyota boxes.

: That's some heavy duty stuff! You're
: the
: MAN. I can see your skills and
: equipment are in a league way above me.
: I'll have to stick to a pre-existing
: adapter plate. I have a mig welder,
: saws, cutting tools but no metal lathe,
: etc.
:
: Nice cars!

: Hello Mark- You may have seen this link
: before here or elsewhere, but I'll bump
: it up since it's been a long time last
: I saw it anywhere. I'm the very first
: person to do a tranny conversion like
: this- the NZ company and others have
: copied it with various changes. Mine
: still runs and works perfect, after
: more years and miles now than I can
: count. I've meant to update this page
: with a blueprint but keep putting it
: off (always too many projects-too
: little time)...but really all the info
: you need is there to do it my way. Just
: ask here if you have questions, I'll be
: happy to help if I can.

: Anyone have any experience with
: Canley's
: T9 conversion pieces? What T9 from a
: car sold in the US would I use?
: Otherwise any suggestions for 5 speed
: conversions based on transmissions I
: can find in the US?
