Patrick:
Over the years (past 7 or 8), I have salvaged seven 3:545 diff pumpkin
assemblies from various British saloons. Except for the one I kept for
myself, all were sold for between $350 US and $650 US, depending on what was
needed to get them into useable condition - sometimes nothing much, others
needed bearings, seals, re-torquing, etc. I would suggest that the average
cost here was about $575 - $600 US (the $350 unit was somewhat noisy - the
purchaser didn't mind and got a good price).
All are currently operating in various Healeys (or were), and everyone
involved was happy with the transactions.
I have recently installed a Lempert 3:545 gearset into a spare 3:91 pumpkin,
and will use it in my under restoration BJ8. Cost of labour, parts
(bearings, shims and a seal) is expected to run approx. $500 - 600 Canadian,
with an approx. $ 100 value attributed to the donor pumpkin.
Hope this helps you.

G'day
Anyone have an idea of what an original 3.54 differential is worth? Just
the pumpkin and in the currency of where you are at please.
