[Mgs] MGC rear axle

[Eric Markley]

The reduction in gearing from 3.909 to 3.07 is about 21.5%. This would
seriously hamper acceleration in a stock B  but provide relaxed cruising. If
you had a car with a supercharger, it might be sensible.

All  these can be fitted to the MGB as well of course.  The V8 also
had  the 3.07:1 for all cars.





Any thoughts on fitting the 3.07 in lieu of a five speed or overdrive in a
4
cylinder B?

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual  Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet  pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching  for experienced
hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging  to be inspected and
adjusted as described in chapter seven of the Haynes  shop manual.
