MG Midget diffs

[Bazzalucas]

Hi, ya'll, I also put this in "Do you now?", so please ignore the feeling of deja vu! In what years did the Midget 1500 use the 3.7:1 diff? Thans, Baz

I 'think' just when fitted with the Triumph 1500 engine. I believe 1275 Spridgets had the 3.9 final drive.

I have a Haynes manual that says all the 1500s had 3.9 final drives, but I have heard for years that they also came with 3.7. I'd love to know for certain, as getting my hands on one would be groovy!

Don't believe everything you read in a Haynes Manual

Thanks, Rob! That will greatly assist my junkyard trawling!
