I believe the lugs need thinning on the later box

The information you need is in this thread. [url]https://www.bsaownersclub.co.uk/bsaoc_forum/index.php?topic=12813.msg68583#msg68583/url
I saved it because I too have a lightweight box in my B32 and might need to convert one some day.
When I was at the Belgian Classic TT  in Gedinne a be few years ago I saw some very tuned rigid framed BSAs with what appeared to swinging arm gearboxes but I later realised that they were probably the later 4 speed C11G gearboxes. Might be another option but won't look original.
