Further down the road; 1275 and ribcase questions

[Paladin1962]

Just mulling over future ideas while I wait for my donor car to arrive; if I can manage to find a 1275 and ribcase, will I need to adapt the hydraulic clutch if my Moggy is Left Hand Drive? Can't find definitive info on this. On a side note, I might change the car's name from Nigel to Steve Austin.... not necessarily because of the cost, just the depth of repairs to the bulkhead I face. DPO did not do me any favors.

All you need is a 1098 LHD front plate for the gear box and a 1098 Minor clutch arm and you can then use the Minor mechanical linkage. However, the 1098 front plate is less common. In a pinch the smooth case front plate and arm can be used but is not the best choice.

Thanks for that!

You can buy a LHD gearbox front plate from ESM that has already been modified with the lip oil seal as an improvement on the scroll.
