Hi,

I may have the chance to get an M41 gearbox and propshaft from a P1800 for my '67 130. Can anyone tell me if the P1800 propshaft is anywhere near the length of the Amazon propshaft? Maybe even a straight swap??

Also, is there any problem in fitting an earlier propshaft to a later car (the Amazon is a '67 and has a type 3 propshaft - I'm not sure what year the P1800 is but it may be an early one

Also, if all goes well and I get to have a look at this box, are there any tell tale signs of hard use/abuse that I can watch out for to avoid being ripped off?

Any advice much appreciated,

Aidan
