whats your preferance, and why. we need to pick a box from our collection to use on dani's car.. the 1275 s motor we got is sitting on a 22g1832, and a s we have 4 of these boxes it would be great if this was a reasonable working setup (guessing anything better is going to cost bigtime??). also have a 22g382 remote and of course the 850 pudding stick type from the motor and box i cant sell. remembering that this will be a young ladies first car. there isnt a need for it to be able to go sideways at 200Ks.. any info on usability of the above boxes or selectors/ mods to make useable would be great |

does the benefit of the remote outway the benefit of other options? is there a potentialy better box that isnt going to cost a fortune, or are they all much of a muchness inside |

4 synchro remote change from the Mk II 'S & Mini K are the sought after box. After that your standard 4 synchro rod change (like whats already under the 1275) are reasonably abundant and parts are availible. The pudding stirrer comes in last. Which reminds me... I found it interesting that your Morrie 1100s 1275 was on a rod change... I was under the impression all the Morris 1100's had 3 synchro remote change gearboxes. Can anybody shed any light on whether the 1100s came with rod change boxes at any point or whether its been swapped over? dewey |

are they readily available, and what sort of price would you expect to pay? |

the 1275 wasnt bolted to that box.. in fact that box was being used as an ashtray LOL but having 4 of them (theres another 2 behind the deluxe under the moke bonnet dewey) i was hopeing to make good use of them. i have a rod selector set up and 2x remote ones that came out of morrie 1100's are these the same? |

On the topic of gear boxes. I'd like to retain the Magic Wand gear lever for the authentic MK1 look. Can a later model or 1100 gears be put into the MK1 case? And then matched up to the 1100 block? |

My 1100 Van has the magic wand, so maybe look for one from that. There may be a problem with 1100 crank shaft clearances with the 850 gear box. |

Wombat, I'd just build a 4 synchro Mini K or S remote box, fit the 850's magic wand diff housing. Just check roundness and alignment of the bearing bores. The reverse was a common conversion way back then. 
BTW 1098s were fitted to rod changes, in Clubbies circa `73-74. |
