Chris,
The first step is to box the o/d up and ship it to me! :-)
It's a question of which Spitfire o/d tranny you go for. If it's a J-type
then you'll probably have to have the drive shaft shorted. It it's a D-type
(early 1500) then it may be the same lenght as the stock single rail tranny.
I swapped a D-type in my '73 Spitfar for a single rail non-o/d without any
changes.
The difference between the early and late o/d's will also be which driven
plate (clutch) used. The early had a 10 spline, the later used a 21 (or is
it 20) spline input shaft.

Sprites and Spitfires and Minis...oh my aching head!
