>Now, is everyone sufficiently confused?
Hehehe, well I am. I guess I may have started the confusion. I was
incorrect when I included the Salisbury axle in my request.
Here's what I think might be [close] to right????
Tube axles:
3.9 MGB for sure, actually 3.909:1 as Barney points out
3.2? MGB automatic as per Larry, I'm not sure about this
3.07 MGC (still available new) as per Lawrie
3.6 MGC as per Lawrie
Banjo axles:
3.9 for sure
4.3 for sure MGA
4.10 MGA 1600 MkII as per Barney
4.55 as per Barney, he has a part #, must be right, has Barney ever been
wrong?
4.875 as per Barney, see the 4.55 comment
5.xxx from MG TD/TF models, more than one ratio as per Barney
Seems to me I read the T series gears may need to be machined to fit the
MGA/MGB banjo carrier???
What did the 4.55 and the 4.875 come in? Special tuning?
