Diff identification

Post by daveallgood »

Teeth 11/40
Ratio 3.6:1 (?)
Housing no:v3205, which doesn't correspond with either a Wolseley or a Riley.
Any ideas on what it's from or whether it's suitable for a Minor?

If depends on what engine you have in the car. If you have a healthy 1275 it will probably manage it. If you have a bog standard 1098 you will be almost selecting 3rd gear in a strong headwind

The diff was for sale on ebay (ended now). The seller claimed to have bought it for a Minor, erroneously I suspect. Despite several questions I wasn't sufficiently convinced that it would be any good. He seemed to have no idea which vehicle it came from and neither do I.
