Crap to Cream MGB MX5 gearbox conversion. Pt4 Gearbox now attached to the engine. 

I machined up a bush and when I went to fit it it looked really ugly so this time round I've gone with the design as supplied, I'm not going to be doing a lot of k's so it should be fine, famous last words I know.........

Speedo and clutch banjo, I’ll hold you to that. I’ve since had a look at the banjo bolt with the rubber bung removed, agree, it now looks a tad easier. Speedo cable, jury is still out. Thanks for the comments. Cheers Marty

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi There, The MX5 gearbox has a beautifully crafted cast aluminium bellhousing which bolts onto the MX5 gearbox itself.

Hi Paul, Had a similar thought when I saw all the washers so I checked with a micrometer, and yes they are all the same. Based on the quality of the conversion kit I sort of knew that if the spacers washers were a different thickness they would have been separated somehow, maybe a cable tie or a plastic bag. Was worth checking anyway.

Yes used the original backplate, the Mazda gearbox comes with a new precast bell housing.

Sorry about that Kevin, I’m working on my camera skills, I did a couple with the camera on a stand and people missed what they wanted to see so I deleted them and went back to original, I’m trying not to move around to much, thanks for the feedback, all received with thanks, appreciate the honesty.
