I don't understand why you don't buy a good used complete MGA gear set
which has all the parts needed to convert a TD/TF to 4.3 ratio. Cost will
be less than $200.00 .
Personally, I would'nt bother with a 4.55 set, 4.3 ratio is ideal for a
1250 cc TD ( IMHO ).
A TF or TD/TF 1500 could pull a higher ratio of 4.1 or even 3.9.
