Default Will Merc 3A or 5 fit on TRS Gimble?

have a customer who blew up a trs and wants a better drive, he wants 3a or 5, not sure if it fits on the trs gimble and if the x dimension is the same even if it will fit or needs to be raised, thanks

The answer to your question about the interchangeability of the #3A-#5 SSM drives to a TRS gimble, the answer is no. You would need the #3-#5 gimble assm. and also, I believe, the appropriate tailstock for your transmission for #3-#5 drives. I'm almost sure that the TRS transmission tailstock, for a plug-in transmission, is different than one for the SSM drives.
Hope this helps.

Yes, The Konrads should be something to look into. We sell them if you would be interested.

As far as what can go with a Trs, If my memory is correct the 2a lowers can bolt onto a Trs upper if thats what your guy popped.

No it will not. You should look at the Konrad conversion. It
will up grade far better than a III or IIIA. You need to check
the application we just did. Go to Drives and Lower Units. Any
questions call us. 954 237 0332
