G'day

I loath pedants, and I especially detest the smarmy look they have when they
know they are right.

The standard diff ratio for the 100S was 2.92:1. Options were 2.69, 3.66 and
4.125. All spiral bevel types.

Don't forget the streamliners and options on the 100M and 100S provided for
extra tall ratios on the diff in the sub-3 range.  I think optional ratios
for the spiral bevel axle were available in the 2.8 : 1 range.  Very good
for high speed runs and long tracks like Le Mans.
