Hmmm, I forgot a few things. Not all J-types are the same, you'll want one
that came off a big Triumph. Spitfires and whatnot I think use a different
adapter housing. Another thing to watch for, the speedo drive ratio may be
different which will throw off your speedometer. You'll also need the right
angle drive, and the solenoid, which may or may not come with the OD.
