Yep, that would be mine.. It had a BN1 gearbox crudely mounted with
brackets. Did the humane thing and installed a proper 4 speed with a 28%
reduction O/D and topped it off with a spiral bevel 3.6667:1 Atlantic

G'day

 

Perhaps this will prove of interest and someone might have heard of this
beforehand?

 

I had a call from a friend who was fitting a 4-speed BN2 gearbox to a BN1.
The chassis number of the car is BN1/223174 and correctly it is fitted with
a hypoid drive rear end. As far as it's known the car has never been fully
restored nor had an accident.

 

As most would know the mountings for a BN1 gearbox are vastly different to
that of the BN2. 

 

With the gearbox removed my friend was preparing the chassis for the new
mounting brackets and while scraping away with a screwdriver found that the
BN2 mounting and captive nuts were already fitted to the chassis.

 

Has anyone come across a BN1 chassis that has such BN2 fittings already
installed?
