Sure. B&G regularly advertise in "MG Enthusiast" and that's where I take the
following information.
MG TD/TF Closer Ratio Gears
Stronger (2X tooth width), better ratios, fits original gearbox case. Set
consists of the input shaft, laycluster, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. Ratios of:
1st 2.86 (3.5); 2nd 1.84 (2.07); 3rd 1.33 (1.385); top 1.1 (1.1)
899.00 Pounds Sterling (17.5% VAT included)
I figure that's an end price of around $1250, plus shipping. Seems like a
deal to me.
I don't know what the second set of numbers (in parentheses) is behind each
ratio. Let me know if you figure it out.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone having done this conversion.
Regards,
Lew Palmer

Lewis -
I've been lurking in the background on this thread, and I found your
latest note to be of interest. I've already converted my TF
differential to a lower ratio, but my transmission has never been
touched. It's nearly 44 years old and complains a bit. I've been
considering a rebuild, and I'd like to know more about the "close-ratio"
gears you mentioned.
Do you have any more info? (e.g., prices? ratios?)
I would be interested to know what you have or could find out.
Thanks in advance,
