If my memory is any good, all years Sprite and Midget, Morris Minor and
Metropolitan pumpkins will interchange. The early spridgets had 4:22 gears,
middle years had 3:90, and the 78 and up had 3:70. The Morris Minor had
5:38 (or 4:55, I don't quite recall) and the Metro had 4:22.

I believe the Moss info is a little misleading.  Later differentials will fi=
t the Bugeye axle with no problem.  What Moss is talking about is that the l=
ater gearsets will not fit in the original Bugeye differential housing, not t=
he axle housing.  Just swap the entire pumpkin and you're good.  I just inst=
alled a 3.7 diff in a Bugeye axle a few days ago.  :-)

Rick has the correct answer.  The later pumpkin will fit in the housing
just fine.

Thanks. Now I understand. I was confusing diff housing with axle housing.

I guess it's been a while since I said there are books with this stuff in!
 + You have to watch you don't end with no filler on the pumpkin and no
filler on the axle casing.

No problem!  (As long as you know how to pull an axle)  :-)

Hi Ed,

The 3.7 was used in the '78 and '79 model Midgets and maybe a few '77's.

According to Horler, everything after VIN 150000. August 1977 and beyond
had the 3.73:1 differential.
There were a number of other changes at the same time, but I don't remember
what they were.
If you find a donor, get the axle shafts, too. The best stock shafts were
from 1970 on, I believe. Bugeye axles were the worst. Also make sure the
1500 accelerator pedals do not get thrown away as well as the radiator
shroud. The 1500 shroud fits a 1275 just fine, but it is enough shorter to
move the radiator a little further from the engine. Not a good thing if you
are using the plastic engine-driven fan, but it IS a good thing if you want
to slip an electric fan between the radiator and the engine.
