Thanks for quick reply.

It is indeed a 1098 - the better box by far. Are you sure the engine is only 948 ?

Yep! Sure of it, because when i put the twin carbs on it i found '948' stamped into the side of the block.

Aye -well that is a bit of a give-away! It would be '950' though!

You will need a 1098 flywheel - and drill it to match the 6 bolt 1275 crank tail. Also need a 1098 backplate - and grind it out to clear the larger main bearing housing on the 1275 block.
