I'm going to take advantage of a Moss Motors sale and buy the kit to fit a lower ratio rear axle into my 51 TD. My question is this: when cruising now I run around 3500 rpm at 50 mph. What kind of de

Hi Lani, The answer is 'yes'. With the standard TD tires/gearing, the magic number is 14.4 mph/1000 rpm. With the 4.55 gearing that becomes 16.2/K, with 4.30 it's 17.2/K. I seem to recall that you're

What size tires are you using? On my chart, 50.40 mph is the road speed one would get at 3500 rpm on 165x15 radials. With those tires and a 4.55 ratio, one would achieve about 56.70 mph. Have you co

The 14.4 is true with the original tires. Changing from the 5.50x15 Dunlop Gold Seal to a 165x15 radial drops the road speed by 3.75 mph with the original, 5.125, gearing. The original Dunlops were

Hi Andy, I share a lot of your thoughts. Some folks envy us here in New England because of the many miles of good country motoring with twisting roads passing through some of God's best scenery. Perf

Just to add my own $.02 on the axle question. I don't drive my TF much on the open roads. Like most T owners I enjoy the back roads much more. But my own desire for a taller axle ratio comes from the

Hi Bob: I have never heard of a 4.1 ring and pinion set. Can you tell me the source and price of a 4.1 conversion set for a 1953 TD? John

MGA 1600 MK 2 had the 4.1 ratio and this will bolt into a TD/TF housing. A gear set will cost about $200.00, possibly more as this ratio is relatively rare. Installation is extra. A 4.3 ratio is gen

It's one of the MGA sets. I believe it was used on the 1600 cars. To locate one, I would ask at a club meeting and hunt up the MGA club in your area. Bob
