->Oh, nonnononono. The TD rear end is yet another version of how not to
->build a rear end. It has neither a back plate (like the tube-type B
->axles) nor a punkin' (chunk) like the banjo-type A and B axles.
->Intead, it splits apart in a plane parallel to the driveshaft
->(fore-and-aft), with the ring in one half and the pinion in the other
->half. The irony is that the ring and pinion from MGA's (among other
