I don't think it will fit. They modified the RB Midgets to accept the
triumph engine. The mods were basically bolt ons and a few stamped
sheetmetal mods like a depression for the harmonic balancer in the
steering rack mount and a few others on inner wings.
Going from 1500 to A series is much easier.
