Help!

Recently a single rail transmission with OD was purchased for installation in 
Susan's mk3 spitfire.  Currently the car has a single rail gearbox installed so 
we were hoping for a direct swap.  However the gearbox with the OD attached 
turns out to have come from a Dolomite 1850.  The input shaft has 23 splines, 
is .989" in diameter across the splines and the distance from the tip of the 
mainshaft to the outer face of the bearing race is 7".  

What we need to know is what are the dimensions for a spitfrie 1500 single rail 
gearbox?  Obviously we're hoping that this gearbox will work as is with the 
Dolomite mainshaft in her spitfire but I believe the odds are going to be 
against that!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

TIA
