Hi,
        I believe the same size crownwheel and pinion was fitted in the
Standard Atlas and Leyland 15/20 - many of the other axle components are
the same. So if you ever want an ulta low ratio like 4.55:1, 5.00:1 or
even 6.66:1 (yes, really!), I may be able to help,
        Cheers,
                Bill.
