Folks:
Just spotted a complete OD kit for sale on eBay. Includes a
rebuilt J-Type OD, adapter, mounting bracket, output flange, inhibitor
switch, mainshaft and shipping for $860. Not a bad price. The only thing
missing is the angle drive, wiring harness and steering column switch.
Looks like it is a "real" triumph overdrive too.
For reference, Quantum gets $1,400 for their kit, which includes
everything (including the harness and steering column switch).
One caveat - Quantum does a COMPLETE rebuild for their kit which
includes a rebuilt OD clutch. I am guessing that the eBay kit does NOT
include a clutch in the rebuild. The clutch is the main wear point in
the OD, and it can be a problem. The clutches should go 150,000 miles
but it is something to consider.
Cheers,
Vance
