Ken, I imagine that your differential number is really 11/43, which gives
the overdrive-equipped ratio of 3.909 (43/11). The T may refer to
teeth.
The BMC parts manual does not identify a change in the nose badge from
cloisonni to painted, but data in the BJ8 registry suggests that the painted
badges began to appear on BJ8s somewhere around chassis number 41XXX, which
is a late number. Its had to say whether the badge you have was restored
by someone by painting, but my guess would be you have a late badge.

Subject: [Healeys] two 3000 restoration questions
1. I have a spare differentital center section that is stamped 1/43
and
off to the side is a T.
Dividing 43 into 1 doesn't give me a ratio that makes sense. Is the ratio a
4.30? Maybe from a taxi cab?
2. I have a BJ8 front shroud badge that is painted. Is that definitely
a
badge from a late 67 BJ8 or could it possibly be from a early BJ8 and the
cloisonni has chipped off and red paint is underneath?
Thanks,
Ken Freese
