Yes and no Jeff,
 
Firstly welcome,
 
Andre has made you known to us already.
 
You can use the diff out of the 71 on Spittys, large output shafts.   The 
early cars had a smaller splined shaft but I have no idea what size it  was.  
Just smaller...;-))

Hello  FOT
I was recently nominated by Mike Derweerd and seconded by Andre  Rousseau 
both
fellow racers in VARAC. I live just outside  Ottawa,Ontario,Canada .At 47 
years
old I thought racing would be a good  hobby. I bought a 1971 GT6 a couple of
years ago as an ex SCCA race car  that originally raced at Watkins Glen. It 
was
advertised on Kijiji and  looked pretty sad when I went to see it (I've
attached a before and after  picture) but I bought it anyway.This is my 
first
experience with a Britsh  car,my rides till the Triumph were either American
mussel (Chevelles) or  Japanese cars (Celicas). I just received Kas 
Kastner's
books to see how I  can make it better,but since last year was my first as a
novice driver I  intend to make improvements slowly as the biggest 
limitation
will probably  be the driver. Now for a question,the car is running with the
3:89  overdrive diff at present and I would like to find a 4:11. Can anyone
tell  me if I can use the gear out of a Spitfire? Thanks
Jeff  Clark
