MG Midget diffs

Post by Bazzalucas »

In what years were the 3.7 differentials used in the MG Midgets? I have heard that the 78-80 1500 models featured these. Can anyone confirm? Thanks, Baz

Hi Baz if you contact Watford MG's they should be able to confirm the exact year's, although I though that all 1500 midgets had the 3.7.

I thought it was '77 on

The earlier rubber bumper midgets definately had the 3.9

I have had it confirmed that from August of '77, they went with a 3.7 diff. Thanks for all the input!
