Larry,
I do know that the MGA gearsets will fit in an early B, "banjo" style
casing.
I do know that the axle called a Salisbury is the later style, where the
gears are accessed through a plate on the back of the axle housing.
I don't know if Kai is correct in saying all those ratios were available for
a Salisbury axle. Certainly, several ratios were available for the early,
"banjo" axle, in the ratios that Kai mentions. For the Salisbury, I've only
ever seen 3.9 to 1 or the MGC ratios (3.6 and 3.07, I believe)
Barney's addendum must surely refer to "banjo" ratios, as there's no way I
know of to adapt T-series rear end gears to a Salisbury axle.
Now, is everyone sufficiently confused?
Lawrie
