MGC and MGB (4-cylinder and V8) used the same axle design, although it
changed from the Banjo to the Salisbury/tube with the GT and on the
roadsters by July 67. Disc and wire axles are different lengths in both
cases - both casing and half-shafts. There are other major differences
between the two on the Banjo. The B diff was always 3.909:1 (11/43)
although the auto used 3.7:1 (10/37). For competition you could get 4.555:1
(9/41), 4.3:1 (10.43), and 4.1:1 (10/41) on the banjo, only the first and
4.22:1 (9/38) on the Salisbury. There was also a ZS LSD for both. MGC used
3.07:1 (14/43), 3.307:1 (13/43) and 3.7:1 (10/37) depending on year and
gearbox. All these can be fitted to the MGB as well of course. The V8 also
had the 3.07:1 for all cars.
