1275/803 gearbox

I am going to treat Morris to a Midget 1275 engine / gearbox transplant.
He currently has a 948 gearbox with the rear half of an 803 box ie retains the long gearstick.
Can this same conversion be done with the midget gearbox?
Your thoughts gentlemen please!
Andy (& Morris)

Callum has indeed done it - but it was not straightforward! Involved some special 'machining' as I remember!

The usual conversion is a 1098 box with a 803 gear lever. The best person to speak to is John Evans who carries out the conversion. His tel is 02392 465256. Advert on P. 20 Minor Matters. I am informed however that spares for 1275 boxes are in very short supply.
