3 main to 4 sync requires other changes than just the rear engine plate.

Rob, the hybrid alloy plate is essentially a 3-main plate with the trans mounting of a 4-synchro plate. It maintains starter location in position to engage the 3-main FW, has no crank seal etc, Use a modern gear reduction high torque starter and no relief required in the trans bell for a pull-in type Bendix.

I will be in touch, when I am ready. The 3 main was running with the 4 syncro OD Someone had cut up the transmission housing for the starter. And turned down the input shaft. I had my MG guy rebuild the transmission. and replace the housing. So now I have a beautiful 4 syncro OD with a 3 main input shaft. Next is the back plate. It will be a nice marriage when done.
