Has anyone had experience in overcoming a torque tube set-up in order to fit a standard prop. I can't afford original engine so want to fit a Triumph 2000 in my '28 Oxford !

have you considered having the new gearbox adapted to take the torque tube instead? many setups relied on the torque tube to act as integral part of the suspension geometry and you might have opened a can of worms trying to get away from it.
