no, 2p goes inside a waxstat jet....

You can use a non-waxstat, but you need a conversion bracket thingy......

Still miles cheaper than a new waxstat.

I have excellent results with triple electrode plugs, but usually use Bosch ones (WR7DTC IIRC)

To fit an overdrive you need to change the output shaft which requires a complete stripdown of the box so no, not easy.  If you fancy having a go the only way to lay your hands upon an O/D output shaft is to buy an overdrive box and dismantle it which seems a tad pointless.

You do not need to change the diff if you fit an overdrive box but there are a number of other parts you would need.  It is a very worthwhile upgrade.
