Dick,
By the way, the conversion to the MGA gearset I mentioned in my previous
message cost each member $450 in parts. This included all new MGA gears,
bearings, spacers, and sundries.

Subject: TF axle ratio
Hello All,
My work on the TF is going well. New fuel pump and brakes
all around will
help the go and stop functions. Thanks for all the help from
the group.
Special thanks to Lawrie Alexander out at The British
Sportscar Center in
California for all his help by email. Wish we had someplace
similar here on
the East coast.
Next question now involves driveability.
I want to upgrade my gear ratio on the TF to something a bit
more
reasonable. I don't pull stumps much anymore so first gear
is pretty much
unuseable and highway speed just wrings that poor little
1250 to the limit.
Does anyone have any tips on doing a gear change? I do have
a spare MGA
rear axle that could be a donor but it's a wire wheel axle
and my TF will
stay a solid wheel car. Not sure about the possibilities
there.
