New mitchell overdrive

[larry/Texas]

My friend with a '34 Tudor had to make a cut in the floor less than +/- 2 inches forward to accommodate the length of the gear box and it's width.

Phew .. guess it would be the weight that will be the real killer for transport to Australia..
I was hoping next trip to Cali I could just tuck it under my arm and walk on the plane with it

I didn't have to cut any on my floor on my 40 but did reverse the cable hook up upside down because when someone was in back seat it would hit but I have Posie reverse eye spring on both ends.That just means I have to push in for OD not pull out cable.

Using the plywood rims on the wood tracks to pull that rear end out is a clever idea. Good one!!!!

Good idea,but I bet they ride and Handle like crap!

You are right on that Phil. Plus they don't wear like bias tires. I have to replace them every 50 miles or so

John, I am thinking if you stretch large thick rubber bands over the outer diameter you will get a better ride and a few extra miles out of them.

I have one in my 33 3-w coupe. One problem on 33 very close to floor in rear.
when I first had the overdrive . I did not like the shift (manual) I made up a electric
( using good size electric door openers) works OK but if I were to do again I would use electric motors to shift.

Has to be a strong motor to pull lever back and forth.Any pics
