An amusing aside ........ the last few hundred Alpines with the non-peaked headlamp rings and pentastars had a Frankenstein gearbox with fine spline input shafts like Hunter boxes and coarse spline output shafts like all other Alpines. You will need a Hunter pattern clutch driven plate or you will struggle for ever to refit the gearbox. I did! Doh!
Great story! Thanks Tim and Allan.
Glad you enjoyed it. We want as many Alpine owners as possible to tell their stories on this channel.

John, hopefully you got it sorted in the end!
