MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Diff set up

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has some info on setting pinion debt and diff setup on a migdet/spite diff or maybe a workshop manual on it with tools info there maybe be needed

Although a different axle design the basics of the final drive and diff assembly are basically the same so maybe of some use in giving you an idea, see http://www.winget.co.uk/document/SERVICE MANUAL SALISBURY 5HA AXLES.pdf . You may have to copy and paste it. That information is for a Winget dump truck but my neighbour used it when he replaced the CWP in his Morgan as the axle is basically the same.

I watched those youtube clips a lot. If you've got a proper manual there's a lot in there.

I wrote an article on home diff overhaul which was published in the May 2015 edition of Enjoying MG, you can possibly get a copy from the MG owners club, or if you are happy to put your "E" mail address on an open forum, I could send you a copy. There is also an article on You Tube.

I will have to look for that, as I don't remember seeing it.

When Enjoying MG arrives, I always start with the classifieds, but sometimes forget to read the rest of the magazine.
