Whether they'll all fit all diff's, I'm not sure, but the "Small Cars"
used, at various times:
3.27 GT6
3.63 Spit 1500 UK
3.89 Spit Mk.IV (and 1500 USA), also some OD-equipped GT6s
4.11 Herald, early Spit, early Vitesse/Sports 6
4.55 Herald 948 twin-carb, also Triumph (Standard) 10, in solid rear axle
4.875 Herald 948 single carb
5.143 (gasp! That was "special order only" for Heralds)
I think that's all of them, unless the early TR7s had yet another ratio,
such as 3.45(?) -- again, it was the same center section, more or less.
