[TR] F/S: Laycock 'J Type' overdrive, shaft, plate

[Sujit Roy]

I remember the late Randall Young converting one from a Volvo for Stag. I
can't recall  the details. But it seemed a bit of work for a lay person.
The Stag uses  basically the same used on most Triumphs.  There are a
couple of gears for speedo which are unique for speedo calibration.  The
shaft is difficult to source at a reasonable price here in USA.
