I have available for sale several good used sets of MGA 1500/1600, 4.30 (
10/43 ) ratio, crown wheel and pinion assemblies at a cost of $200.00 US$
plus shipping or you arrange pick-up.
This is the complete center section and includes gears, CWP, bearings,
flange, bearing spacer and pinion location thickness washer etc as removed
from a car. Everything you need to install a 4.30 gear set into a TD or TF.
You need to surface grind the thickness washer to remove approx. 0.030"
for installation in a TD/TF housing, adjust the bearing spacer to get the
preload, and possibly adjust the carrier bearing spacers ( + and -- ), to
move the crown wheel sideways to obtain the correct backlash.
I have installed many of these units and I find the 4.3 ratio too low in
my XPEG 1500 cc TD, Other owners with 1250 cc engines find 4.3 ideal.

OK, you have a good point, we have lots of flat roads in southern Ontario.
