[Mgs] MGC rear axle

[Paul Hunt]

MGC and MGB (4-cylinder and V8) used the same axle design, although it 
changed from the Banjo to the Salisbury/tube with the GT and on the 
roadsters by July 67.  Disc and wire axles are different lengths in both 
cases - both casing and half-shafts.  There are other major differences 
between the two on the Banjo.  The B diff was always 3.909:1 (11/43) 
although the auto used 3.7:1 (10/37).  For competition you could get 4.555:1 
(9/41), 4.3:1 (10.43), and 4.1:1 (10/41) on the banjo, only the first and 
4.22:1 (9/38) on the Salisbury.  There was also a ZS LSD for both.  MGC used 
3.07:1 (14/43), 3.307:1 (13/43) and 3.7:1 (10/37) depending on year and 
gearbox.  All these can be fitted to the MGB as well of course.  The V8 also 
had the 3.07:1 for all cars.
