The adapter will clamp onto the Saginaw rear housing with 3 setscrews.
Edit: I believe a similar adapter could be fabricated to marry up a T-5 with a torque tube. The length of the torque tube and the internal driveshaft would probably have to be altered to match the length of the T-5 box. That wouldn't be a particularly difficult procedure, just involving some basic machining and welding. Jerry
