No, when you add a Triumph part to an MG you *raise* the value :-)

No you don't- bad move- it would wear out the spring fingers in no time.
(This is a flat, round ring. The face is the bearing surface, not the

'67? is that a 3 or 4 syncro? Probably 3. The tranny case, and OD are
different between the 2. You can put your OD on the body of one of the
proper type without, if you don't buy a rebuilt OD unit.
