Hi Scotty, I think some of the Crusader Sports or GT's had the 5 speed Albion, but I believe they were a bit problematic, I have never seen one and a mate of mine knows somebody with, I thought he said it was a drill press with an Albion gearbox, I haven't seen that either

To get the 5 spd in the crusaders box the gears were a lot thinner these gears are about same size as 500 bullets, the plot thickens.
