Hi All, I have just fitted a type 60/dogleg box to my sedan , but two problems first reverse lights won"t go out and second the std 4 speed mount will not line up with the mounts on the body WHY WHY WHY
any help greatly recieved
cheers Ade

I dont think they (nissan) intended 1200 to have 5spds. You must now do your best impression of a mechanical engineer and a metal fabricator and link the 2 holes in the trans to the 2 mounts on the body. Bonus points for adding a rubber insulator.
If you can get the reverse lights to work... I think someone in this forum is giving away a pony.
This is the mount that I made for my 1200 sedan, with a manual trans tunnel. The tunnel is too narrow for the reverse switch.5spd trans mount

first problem,you've connected it to the top gear switch,which is used to turn off the vaccum advance in any gear except 4th & maybe 5th.it must have had spade connectors on it?the second problem for reverse lights isn't an easy fix.yes,ive been able to hook the reverse lights up when i put both sorts of 5 speeds in 1200's,but the trick was to put the gearbox in without the switch in,then when the box is on the back of the engine,lower the gearbox down enough to run the switch in.it's tight,but worked for me.i also got a 12 v starter button,the momentry contact sort,& ran the wires into the cabin & hooked them to the switch,but this was a real pain,especially when trying to reverse.another way i've thought of is to get a microswitch & mount it on the gearbox in such a way that the gearstick closes the switch when it is in reverse.this is only a suggestion,& i haven't done any measuring or planning,but it could be done.i was going to used the switch off a sunny choke cable,which has bullet connectors already,& has a little lever arm on it,so theres more chance of closing the switch.hope this is of some help to you.

Here is my "crude" version, which also uses the stock B310 mount. Not as elegant as Angelo's, but no welding required. I used spacers and long bolts.
