[Mgs] Determine build date for an O/D transmission?

[Osborne, Paul]

Any lever from 1968 - 1980 will fit  and shift the gear box. If you want the OD switch to be on the shift knob then that is a different lever.  The lever has a grove cut in the side for the wires. All of them also were shock mounted
as they were starting to “wine” and transmit the gear noise through the solid lever. Since the shock mounting was large, it requires a split hold-down plate.  IM sure that I have a few of these if you need one.

The 78 has a different lever and hold-down ring as well as the knob with the switch, so you have to build up a complete lever, or find one somewhere.  £40 in the UK, $150 in the US!

Option 2 is easier, but less convenient.

A lever for a '78 is not a cheap thing, and my son who is driving it a lot right now likes the Walnut MG logo shifter it has.  So I'm looking at options for how to install the O/D switch.

From the moss catalog, it looks like the '76 switch won't work with the '78. So I might have to buy the parts to put together the shifter switch or put it in the blank accessory switch above the fan on the dash.
