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?
