Yes, Paul Asgeirsson of Morriservice makes a terrific kit for the A-series, I chose it over the Rivergate for numerous design and cost considerations. Also Paul's service and follow-up is A1+. There
Well I come from the UK, no I stand corrected (even though I am sitting down) I am in the UK. Just go ahead and buy the kit and tell me how the Merkur box will fit. OR go ahead and buy the kit and te
Ummm Larry...I think you have it reversed. I always hear about the Rivergate kit for the 1275. Frontline makes the kit for the 1500. Dan (http://www.waterloo-dtr.com/Products/Spridget/Index.htm) ____
That's correct. Waterloo has the Frontline kit for the 1500, not the Rivergate, unless their web site is wrong. Larry At this exact moment in time 10/26/00 2:38 PM, "Dan Dwelley" <maine2me@yahoo.com>

For a 1500 go for the Spitfire Overdrive box. It works well, is easy to fit, and retains that original gearbox noise! Look at Trevor Boicey's home page for a detailed photographic guide, and PDLJMPR

Hi Guys At the risk of sounding like a commercial~! We, and ONLY we are the vendors for the product range of Frontline Spridget in the UK, you may be able to purchase the same products from another s
OK tell me where to get one!! The local TR folks are telling me they are few and far between. I have done some looking myself and can not locate one. Gotta agree this would be an easier switch. Larry
Yeah, the part I think you missed is that IMHO, the transmission fitted to the 1500 is a smooth shifting, quiet, well spaced box with plenty of spare parts available and no reason exists to replace i
Hi David, If you want to use the cast iron Morris Marina bellhousing it will fit. 1312 << Yeah, the part I think you missed is that IMHO, the transmission fitted to the 1500 is a smooth shifting, qui
I got mine from John J. Black at waterloo drivetrain, he's on the list a fair bit. http://www.waterloo-dtr.com/ -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng. Ottawa, Canada, tboicey@brit.ca ICQ #17432933 http://www.brit
Ok, thanks for the info. When I was working on the '70's Datsuns I came to respect the A-series engines. They were almost super-tuned with their aluminum heads and 2-stage Hitachi 2bbl carbs and very

I have to agree with you on the tranny. It is a very good unit. The main reason I am looking for a 5 speed is I drive the car a lot, and on the highway. I would like to kick the RPMs down from 4200 -

Your 310 Datsuns had the A-14. I put 189,000 miles on mine before I sold it, and it wasn't using oil yet. They are tough little engines as I gave ours hell.............
Getting the Datsun "A" series engine in a Spridget is tough. It's too tall, oil pan has a front sump, hangs up on the crossmember, and because it's tall, must go to some side draft carbs and custom e
But for the important question. When your dozen cars arrive, are they labeled as to which ones are parts cars? -- ~ '87 RX-7 TII: Needs paint and competition. MCMLXIX Sprite: Needs paint and companio
