1100 autos and 1300s in Australia used them too. Does anyone know what
Aussie manual 1100s used?

The engine is definitely not off this gearbox.
The standard 1100 had rubber unis, but a lot over the years got replaced
with the steel ones. This gearbox has steel unis as off an S box (one of the
reasons I brought it!)and I am sure that was what my mate originally based
his guess on.
Anyway, will know if the internals are right after the week end.

my other mini (65 deluxe) that i'd like to be rid of has a mini K 1100
mounted on the original 3 synchro gearbox. one of the other gearboxes i got
with the car is a 22G1128 4 synchro which i'm pretty sure was the original
1100 gearbox. Its got the rubber uni's on it

If it is a 65 Deluxe, then the 22G1128 is not the original box.
It should be a 22A1128 as the 4 synchro was not released until 1968 (I
think?!) The one that is in it may just be the original!!
Thanks to Geoff for putting me onto hotbricks.org.au.
Very useful

i like the hotbricks site - a lot of good pics on there and some good info
too. what i was saying about the gearbox is that the 22G1128 i've got is
the original (i think) gearbox for the 1100 motor - it came out of a Mini K
(69-71??). I can't remember what box the original one from the Deluxe is -
the car's all in bits anyway - if anyone needs any parts send me an email
