why do you want to swap a series 2a box for a series 3 box????

the 2a box is a stronger box than the three so it should be better to put on the n/a than the three

Yes i can double 'd'clutch boys i drove it for ages like that.Its just when i changed from series 2a engine to series 3 last year the release bearing doesn,t reach the clutch.Theres no probs with the gearbox.At the time someone said weld a collar to the 2a release bearing but sounds a bit of a bodge job to me.

Yes it's about a quater inch gap, you just need a 2A clutch cover plate - it's a standard part readilly available from paddock etc for about £40. It has the required collar on it.

As general rule with series motors the clutch plate should match the gearbox not the engine.
