[Healeys] Angle Drive

[Bob Spidell]

Nope, but I'll bet it's an obscure thread and probably made of unobtanium. It's an extremely fine thread and possibly Whitworth or some other 'oddball.' 

If the gears stripped why not just leave the drive in until you get another? They are repairable, but only if you have a parts donor (the 6-cyl drives aren't horribly expensive, but the 4-cyl ones are almost $300). Don't forget the 'special' washer.

Anyone know the thread pitch and diameter of the post to which the angle 
drive attaches at the rear of the gearbox? The angle drive on my car took a 
dump. I want to cap off the post to stop any oil leak until I fix or 
replace the angle drive. I do not have it apart yet, hence the question. 

Thanks in advance.
