This is probably too late now BUT - YES the Spit OD gearbox will fit a Midget
1500, but not without a bit of transmission tunnel refabrication !
There was an article in Classic Cars/Sportcars & Classics about 6-8 years
ago detailing the operation.
BTW if you want a 5-speed gbox, why not fit the Triumph TR7 5-speed ?
I have a TR7 5-speed box, which I shall attempt to fit to my Midget 1500
sometime before the end of the year. I shall report how things go.
