Folks:
For those of you collecting parts for that J-Type OD conversion,
there is a right angle drive along with the TR6 speedo pinion and the
retainer on eBay at the moment. All of these parts are available
separately from Quantum, Moss, et al, but you might be able to get a
deal on them together.
eBay item # 7982337788
I should mention that the speedo pinion is most likely the 20
tooth TR6 pinion, which may or may not be what you need to get the
speedo to be correct with a Volvo OD. I found I needed an 18 tooth gear
rather than the 20 tooth gear. If you have managed to source a J-Type
from a Triumph, then this may well be exactly what you need. Remember
too that the angle drive will not fit the Volvo retainer, so if you have
a Volvo OD you will need to replace the existing pinion and retainer in
any event in order to make it work with your TR speedo cable.
