Woodsport Mk1 6 speed gearbox upgrade

[Holo]

Hi

I have an 1988 AW11 unmodified at the moment, blacktop soon, and on a tight budget...

If I'm not wanting to go 6 speed just yet and if I have a good C52 and a good Torsen LSD (some people say helical?) out of a UK Roadster plus the ring gear (some people say crown wheel?) off a C60 - because the PCD on the C52 ring gear is different - then can I just get away with not replacing any bearings, synchros and seals?

I know I will have to seal the major housings with Three Bond (1281) sealant (PN: 08826–00090) or equivalent (what sealant do you use, is there a something cheaper/better?).

Also, I know I will have to check and perhaps adjust preload on the LSD as per Paul's wonderful instructions:
Shim Part Numbers:
AA 2.10mm 90564-41014
BB 2.15mm 90564-41015
CC 2.20mm 90564-41016
DD 2.25mm 90564-41017
EE 2.30mm 90564-41018
FF 2.35mm 90564-41019
GG 2.40mm 90564-41020
HH 2.45mm 90564-41021
JJ 2.50mm 90564-41022
KK 2.55mm 90564-41023
LL 2.60mm 90564-41024
MM 2.65mm 90564-41025

Woops, I nearly forgot I will need a set of mk2/SW20 n/a 91+ non-abs driveshafts for the 'new' LSD.

Anything else I need to consider?

Thanks!
Steve

P.S. If I purchase a s/h Roadster LSD (with crown wheel), will that crown wheel be suitable or the crown wheel must be from a C60? (what box is the Roadster??? :-) )
Thanks!

Paul can build you a six speed mk1b box to fit the mk1 a engine but you can't use the mk1a gearbox casing.

Another one of our famous 6 speed conversion gearboxes bolted to its plinth ready for boxing, this one has our LSD mod too and is going to Australia.

What's the freight on sending on to Aussie?

Not cheap, around £220.
