re: '65 Overdrive Gearbox
Tony,
There are a number of dealers in the UK who specialise in used MG
spares, you might also want to consider joining the MG Owners or Car
clubs as showing their membership card will often get you a 10 - 15 %
discount and you will find a host of spares for sale from other
members.
There is also a magazine specialising in MGs available off the shelf
called "MG Enthusiast", a quick look through gave me the following
companies.
Mech Spec
Sandy Lane Industrial Estate
Worksop
Notts
01909 482775
West Yorkshire MG Centre

01484 715192
Cheshire Classic Car Spares
Unit 3
Silverdale Park
Station Lane
Mickle Trafford

Beware a good box will cost around £300 and there are two types of the
3 Synchro box, one for the 3 bearing engine and another for the 5, the
only difference being the input shaft diameter. You will also need the
propshaft, vacuum switch (like hens teeth), a manifold adaptor, a
solenoid (I Think), o/d switch and wiring (a separate loom feeds the
box) and an assortment of fixings and other bits.
The best bet would be to ask one of these companies for all the parts
you need in one go, I am tackling the conversion on my '67 B and am
having trouble locating some of the parts so if you succeed please let
me know who supplied the bits.
Hope this helps
