2500 gearbox conversion from manual to auto

Hi all,

Just toying with the idea of buying a 2500S and converting it from a manual to an automatic. Would anyone have all the bits I need, preferably the type 65 box. I must stress this is only a maybe as I don't seem able to find an auto 2.5, 2500 or 2500S and really is a non desirable option. (72 years young and only an auto license)

You will possibly struggle to find a used BW65 and correct prop with the two flanges, as most owners who may have done the more common conversion from auto to manual are more likely to have a BW35 available plus all the bits needed.
I will have the majority of parts to convert to an auto with a BW35 if you do decide to go for it.

I've got a used 2500 (037 Series IIRC) BW65 box, there may also be a bellhousing somewhere as well, but that's it. It would need a refurb though as it's been standing (albeit in the dry) for years.
