The gearbox in yr 64 should be a 1200 type and the gearbox in a Type 3 is a 1500 type.
If they both look the same physically then it shouldnt be a problem. Just check the gear shift selector rod heights in the housing.

Thnks Dave,Did a bit of sourcing today and this what i found out and discovered thanks to the guys at Volkspower.The housing is the same but where the rod[hockey stick]joins on the coupling is different on a type 3 the grub screw thread is on the bottom on a type 1 it is taped threw the top.So all I simply have to do is take the rod out of the type 1 cracked nose cone and put it on the type 3 nose cone.Easy...

Yep thats right about the type 3 selector shaft the grub screw is on the bottom.
Swapping ove will be OK.
